Hello from your Lake Jennings! The trout bite continues to be an iffy proposition. Limits were caught but scattered all over the lake. Some trout were caught on lures in the backs of Hermit and Half Moon Coves. Others got skunked in the same spots using the same lures. Bass are also hit and miss having moved into the post spawn. For some reason no one has been targeting the cats... so we don't have a report.

Best Trout Spots: All the coves and the concrete steps.
Best Trout Lures/Bait: Salmon Peach Power Bait.
Best Catfish Spots: The bird trees.
Best Catfish Bait: Mackerel or nightcrawlers. Use scent liberally.
Best Bass Spots: 25 ft on all the points.
Best Bass Lures/Bait: Crawdads, Ikas and jigs.

Notables: Sun., Johnny Dobbs (pictured left), 4-8 largemouth, oxblood drop shot, rock pile.
Prognosis: Same as last week. The bass are almost done with the majority of fish in post-spawn. The trout inventory remains high. Boaters are outfishing bankies because the trout are suspended in the middle of the lake. Our first catfish plant will be mid-May, but you don't have to wait because there is a large carryover from last year.

Water Temperature: 65 degrees on the surface.
Current Schedule: Lake Jennings will be open this Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Coming Soon: Night fishing starts May 21, 2010!
