Hello from your Lake Jennings! A decent top water / Bass Assassin bite against the bank continues early and late. In the middle of the day "fugetaboutit." The catfish plant did nothing to spark a bite. They are now showing up deeper. Boaters are doing better than bankies by fishing the lake channels and drop offs. The coves and the flooded brush are much less productive than they were 2 weeks ago. A few anglers cruising the banks in boats are sight fishing the red eared sunfish with wax worms. No limits (25) are being caught but you can generally scratch enough for dinner!

Best Catfish Spots: The buoy lines and in the middle of Eagle Cove.

Best Catfish Lures/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: Frogs, chug bugs, Bass Assassins, Shiners.

Notables: No fish over 3 lbs. or limits under 30 minutes.

Water Temperature: 79 degrees.

Prognosis: The high lake level has contributed to an unprecedented weed growth that has bass up close and personal to the bank. Highly unusual for this lake! When the light is low these bass have been accommodating. The shad busting bite is only around the bubbles and it takes a longer cast than most anglers can muster so beat the bank. When the cats get their appetite back you'll be the first to know. Next catfish stock is August 15th.
