Hello from Lake Jennings! The cold weather dampened the enthusiasm of the fish and the anglers that pursued them. Trout are being caught in 30 ft. of water by drifting crawlers or Power Bait out in the middle of the lake. Bassin' is fair with dropshotting small worms working best. The aerator is on and that should drive the shad to the surface. Cats are the main bill of fare. Hermit Cove was the bright spot for the week. During the day you want to move your bait frequently almost like you would fishing a plastic worm. We are gearing up for our Family Day. Please see the next page for more details.

Best Trout Spots: The boat dock, fishing float and buoyline triangle.

Best Trout Lures/Bait: Chartreuse Power bait drifted about 25 to 30 feet down.

Best Catfish Spots: The first bird trees, Siesta and Hermit coves and anywhere there is brush in the water.

Best Catfish Bait: Nightcrawlers are really working well or mackerel. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: At night on the bank in 5 ft. of water in brush and under trees. Daylight finds them in 15 to 30 ft. off the points chasing shad.

Best Bass Lures/Bait: Bass Assassins, dropshotting 4" shad colored worms. Swimbaits.

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

Prognosis: No catfish being stocked this week. The key as always is to fish the shallow coves close to brush. If you are casting out 50 ft. you are too far out.

Water Temperature: 68-70 degrees.

Current Night Fishing Schedule: We will be open Friday from 5:00 p.m. ??? 11:45 p.m., Saturday from 5:30 a.m. ??? 11:45 p.m. and Sunday from 5:30 a.m. ??? 8:30 p.m.

Discounted Sunday Boat Rental: We have created a twilight special for our motorboats. After 4:00PM on Sundays, motorboats can be rented for $20.00. That gives you over 4 hours of primetime fishing.

Lake Jennings Fishing University will hold a fishing class this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. The classes concentrate on what is working best. This week's class will talk about fishing cats. Most importantly, the classes are FREE! Ranger Hugh will be the professor.

In years past, we found that a lot of kids were unable to attend our Kids Day events because they were held in the morning and they had other activities. Often times parents did not have a State license so they were unable to fish. Our thinking is to make it possible for everyone to come fish for a day with their family at no charge.

Hope to see you and your family on June 7th!
