Hello from Your Lake Jennings: Open on Memorial Day!! The cold weather dampened the enthusiasm of the fish and the anglers that pursued them. Trout are being caught in 30 ft. of water by drifting crawlers or Power Bait out in the middle of the lake. Bassin’ is fair with dropshotting small worms working best. The aerator is on and that should drive the shad to the surface. Cats are the main bill of fare. Hermit Cove was the bright spot for the week. During the day you want to move your bait frequently almost like you would fishing a plastic worm. We are gearing up for our Family Day. Please see below for more details.

Best Trout Spots: the boat dock, fishing float and buoyline triangle.

Best Trout Lures / Bait: Chartreuse Power bait drifted about 25 to 30 feet down.

Best Cat Spots: The bird trees, Siesta and Hermit Coves and anywhere there is brush in the water.

Best Bass Spots: At night on the bank in 5 ft. of water in brush and under trees. Daylight finds them in 20 to 30 ft. off the points chasing shad.

Best Bass Lures /bait: Bass Assassins, dropshotting 4” shad colored worms. Swimbaits.

Water Temp. 68 to 70 degrees

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

Prognosis: No catfish being stocked this week. The key as always is to fish the shallow coves close to brush. If you are casting out 50 ft. you are too far out.

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

Lake Jennings Park Family Day June 7, 2008

Sponsored by Helix Water District

June 7, 2008 Is the Dept. of Fish and Game’s “No License” Required Day

Fishing Fees also waived.

18 ½ hours of fishing. 5:30 AM until Midnight.

Lantern Required after 8 PM

Gifts for the first 500 kids that check in.

1000 lbs of catfish will be stocked.

Volunteers will be available to help beginners get started. In years past we found that a lot of kids were unable to attend our Kids Day events because they were held in the morning and they had other activities. Often times parents did not have a State license so they were unable to fish. Our thinking is to make it possible for everyone to come fish for a day with their family at no charge.
