Hello from your Lake Jennings! A lot of catfish dinners will be enjoyed by our anglers this week. Just about any bait that you can think of worked. Again the coves were the place to be. There was a smattering of bass caught, including a few topwater, but the topwater were not chasing shad.

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

Best Catfish Bait: Chicken livers, shrimp, hot dogs or nightcrawlers. Use scent liberally

Best Bass Spots: 25 ft on all the points

Best Bass Lures/Bait: # 13 Rapalas, Zara Spooks and d/s 4" morning dawn worms.

Notables: Friday, John Visser, Jake Alirez, Melody Noble, Lemon Grove, 15 cats, largest 4-0, chicken livers dipped in Secret 7, Cloister Cove.

Prognosis: We will be getting another 1000 lbs of Rock and Fish Ranch cats this week. It is hard to imagine the catfishing being any better. The bass eventually have to kick loose. We'll let you know when that happens.

Water Temperature: 78 degrees on surface.
