Lake Jennings Fish Report: 4/14/08 - 4/20/08 PDF Print E-mail
Written by Lake Ranger, Hugh Marx   
Hello from Your Lake Jennings:  Trolling continues to be good for trout  between the boat dock and the fishing float. The Cactus Patch and a new spot over in Sentry Cove are producing trout from a boat using Power Bait or Gulp.  The bass are in transition.  More fish have moved back away from shore into 15 to 25 ft. of water. Swimbaits have been effective on those fish.  Dropshotting worms in the brush are still nailing guardian males. Some redears are spawning but the main run has yet to occur. Channel cats are now being caught under the bird trees.

Best Trout Spots: the boat dock, fishing float and buoyline triangle.
Best Trout Lures / Bait: Needlefish and Rapalas for trolling and nightcrawlers 6’ under a bobber.

Best Cat Spots:  The floating boathouse and the bird trees.
Best Cat Bait:  Bring mackerel or mackerel.

Best Bass Spots:  On the bank in 5 ft. of water in brush and under trees.
Best Bass Lures /bait:  Dropshotting 4” worms. Swimbaits.
Water Temp. 65 to 68 degrees

Notables:  No fish over 3 lbs reported or limits in 30 minutes.

Prognosis: The hot bite for trout will continue while inventories remain high. Cats and red ears are being caught on the bank. Buzzbaits drug off the bank produced some nice reaction bites from the bass.

Lake Jennings Free Fishing University will be teaching trout and cats at 1 PM on Sunday.
