Hello from your Lake Jennings!
Starting next week it is that time of year that we anglers get the opportunity to fish until midnight. Lake Jennings season is longer than any other lake in San Diego County - from May 17th until Labor Day Weekend. Most of us equate night fishing with catfish but guess what? The bass feed at night too! Cats were caught at the bird trees but not by everyone. Night crawlers are the preferred bait. Cast as close to shore, next to the submerged trees, as you can. The bass have moved out to deeper water and are in post spawn. The only bass you see are the smaller guardian males. The red ears disappeared, probably due to the cold front last week.

Best Catfish Spots: Bird Trees and coves
Best Catfish Bait: Flylined nightcrawlers
Best Bass Spots: Points in 15' to 35' of water and the riprap bordering the launch ramp and Eagle Point. See GPS for that spot.
Best Bass Lures/Bait: Flylined nightcrawlers for the guardian males, Senko's and dropshotted morning dawn worms
Best Trout Spots: Between the boat dock and the fishing float
Best Trout Bait: The bait that catches the most trout is nightcrawlers trolled down 5 to 6 colors

Notables: Dave McGill, Lakeside, (3) 3+ Channel Cats, Hermit Cove, Mackerel

Prognosis: The channel cats have moved into the shallows. Cast into brush and you'll get either a bass or a cat. When we cruise the shoreline we see a lot of cats in less than 5 ft. of water. The next 3 weeks will probably be your last chance for trout. Deep water off fishing float or by boat in the same area.

Water Temperature: 68 degrees on surface
