Hello from Your Lake Jennings: Catfishing exploded this weekend with Hermit and Cloister coves producing lots of limits. No one bait produced more than any other. A few bass are coming to bank anglers. Boaters are doing a little better by dropshotting 4” worms in 15 to 25’ of water. Ikas are also performing but each bass is earned.

Best Cat Spots: Eagle, Cloister and Hermit Coves.
Best Cat Bait: Chicken livers or nightcrawlers. Use scent liberally
Best Bass Spots: 25 ft on all the points.
Best Bass Lures /bait: mudsuckers and d/s 4” morning dawn worms.
Water Temp. 71 degrees on surface.

Notables: Fri., & Sat., John Visser and grandson Jake Alirez, Lemon Grove, 10 cats, Fri. 45 minutes, Sat. 25 minutes, Eagle Cove. Sat., Pat Flynn, El Cajon, 5-8 cat, Hermit Cove, mackerel.

Prognosis: The early season night fishing pattern for channel cats is always fish shallow in the brush and the backs of the coves.
