Hello from Lake Jennings! The trout bite is slowly winding down. The only good spot from shore has been the fishing float. Fishing deep by boat in the middle of Half Moon and south of Eagle Point. Crawlers are outperforming Power Bait. The bass are definitely post spawn. 20 ft. clear water dictates light lines. Dropshotting the points in 25 to 35 ft. of water or frogs dragged off the bank early and late. Speaking of catfish: Night fishing starts Memorial Day weekend. Starting May 22, you can fish until midnight on Friday and Saturday. We will also be open on Memorial Day.
Best Trout Spots: Middle of the lake.
Best Trout Lures/Bait: Inflated crawlers on a 2 ft. leader dipped in scent.

Best Catfish Spots: Bird trees and floating boathouse.
Best Catfish Bait: Night crawlers and mackerel. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: Every 15 ft. along the shore and off the points. Think post-spawn.
Best Bass Lures/Bait: Drop-shooting 10" black Power Worms and 4" margarita mutilator worms.

Notables: No fish reported over 3 lbs. or limits under 1 hour.

Prognosis: Start thinking catfish and red ears. Both are showing up on the bank. Trout will be found out at the buoy line and in the deeper channels. Start looking for bank bass early and late.

Water Temperature: 65 to 67 degrees on surface.

Current Schedule: We'll be open this Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 5:45 a.m. ??? 8:15 p.m.

Hello from Lake Jennings! If your memory is like mine then you won't recognize that this week's report is just like last weeks. The trout have started to move out to deeper water. A few limits were caught out by the buoy line by drifting nightcrawlers down to 100 ft. Bass are scattered. Most are being caught off the points in 20 ft. of water. A few are being caught along the bank. It is definitely post-spawn!!!!! Dropshotting by far is producing the greatest numbers. Cats...... Read More
