Hello from your Lake Jennings! The cat bite busted loose with several larger cats
in the 6 to 12 lb. range. Unfortunately the owner of the best stringer did not want to
give up his name, rank or serial number. Other anglers said he was at the Hermit
Cove buoyline. There was one constant. The cats are in 30 ft. and deeper water.
Bass continue to be conspicuous by their absence. Red ears are also moving deeper
and have become difficult to locate and catch.
Best Catfish Spots: The dam buoyline and Hermit Cove.
Best Catfish Bait: Night crawlers. Use scent liberally.
Best Bass Spots: None.
Best Bass Lures/Bait: None.
Notables: Fri., Dan Heiser, El Cajon, 7-0 channel cat, mackerel, Sentry Point. Sat., Brian Gastineau, Lakeside, 8-8 channel, Hermit Cove, mackerel.
Prognosis: Remember that we do not open until 5 PM on Friday. We are rapidly approaching the end of night fishing. The last weekend is the Labor Day weekend. Looking back at late August and early September reports we found a good catfish bite. Better than any time in the summer. By the way, Lake Jennings Campground now has Wi-Fi at every campsite.
Water Temperature: Still 78 to 79 degrees on surface.
Current Schedule: We'll be open this Friday from 5:00 p.m.- Midnight, Saturday from 5:30 a.m. - Midnight, and Sunday from 5:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Upcoming Holiday: Remember, we'll be open on Labor Day (Monday, September 7th)!
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 cat fishing. Most importantly, the classes are FREE! Ranger Hugh will be the professor.

Lake JenningsHello from Lake Jennings! The summer doldrums continue to frustrate us and our anglers. The bite for cats got worse even though 1,000 lbs of cats were planted Friday morning. Sunday morning around 8:30 there was a decent bite back in Hermit Cove but only if you had crawlers. The bass continue to be difficult and if topwater is your thing fugetaboutit. Fishing deep or trolling leadcore. This could change when we start dropping the water level. That gets the crawdads on the move and...... Read More
