A problem at the hatchery resulted in no catfish being stocked this week. They have promised us our fish this Wed. and another load on the 25th . Not getting stocked certainly did not improve the catching but something did get our attention. The cat limits that were caught mostly on Friday night, were in deeper water away from the shore. A few of those anglers also caught a couple of trout. Bassin' was better than last week but no one method was better than another. Ika's, big worms and topwater all produced a few fish. A tour of the lake with the fishfinder showed fish all over the water column.

Best cat spots: The bouylines and in the middle of Eagle cove
Best cat bait: Bring mackerel and night crawlers. Fish shallow near vegetation.
Best Bass Spots: Dusk on the bank, daytime bass are stacked up in 25 ft. of water on the points.
Best Bass Lures /bait: Black with red flake Ikas and 12" Texas rigged black worms. Shiners.

Water Temp: 77 degrees
Notables: Sat., Wayne Story, Escondido, 10-9 channel cat, mackerel, Siesta Cove.

Prognosis: We will try again to stock 1000 lbs. of Fish Producers channel cats on Wednesday this week. The water temp inching higher should push the shad and bass closer to the surface.

Lake Jennings Free Fishing University will talk about fishing catfish. 1PM Sunday.
