Hello from your Lake Jennings! Fishing has been the cat's meow. The bass bite isn't. The occasional red ear is showing up, but if you're lucky you might catch 2 or 3. So you want to concentrate on cats. Chicken livers are still the preferred bait with other morsels a distant second… Coves are still the best but good catches in deeper water are also starting to happen.

Best Catfish Spots: Eagle, Cloister, and Hermit Coves.

Best Catfish 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.

Notables: Fri., Juan Herrera, El Cajon, 14-2 channel cat, Cloister Cove, mackerel.

Prognosis: This week's forecast is for more HOT weather. Mid-90's all week. I think that the fishing will act accordingly. There is a reason why bass, sunfish, and cats are called "warmwater fish."

Water Temperature: 78 degrees on surface.

Current Schedule: Fri. @ 5:00 PM closes for fishing at 12:00AM, Sat. @ 5:30 AM closes for fishing at 12:00 AM, Sun. @ 5:30 AM closes for fishing at 8:30 PM, Night fishing every Friday and Saturday until Labor Day.
