Hello from your Lake Jennings! A not so subtle reminder that we will be open at 5:30AM Friday, July 4th and you can fish until Midnight. Fishing improved for just about everything. It was not an outstanding bite but fish were caught all over the lake. Cats led the way with some crappie and redears filling in. There was even a 1 st hour early topwater bass bite on the bank.

Best Trout Spots: None

Best Trout Lures/Bait: None

Best Catfish Spots: Cloister, Hermit and Siesta Coves and anywhere there is brush.

Best Catfish Lures/Bait: Nightcrawlers are really working well or mackerel. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: Dawn and dusk tight on the bank. Daylight finds them in 20 to 30 ft. off the points chasing shad.

Best Bass Lures/Bait: Frogs, Pop R’s and 4” pumpkin senkos or shad worms.

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

Water Temperature: 75-78 degrees.

Prognosis: The lake will continue to warm driving our bass closer to the surface, our cats to the shallows and crappie under the fishing float. The best bet appears to be fishing bass with topwater 5:30 to 7:00 AM. Bass Assassins until 8:30 AM. Redears in the back of the coves until 6:00 PM with wax worms, meal worms or 1” pieces of crawlers. Then concentrate on the cats from 6:00 to 9:30 PM.

Current Schedule: We will be open Friday from 5:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m., Saturday from 5:30 a.m. – 12:00 a.m. and Sunday from 5:30 a.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Holiday Schedule: We will be open Friday, July 4th from 5:30 a.m. – Midnight.

Discounted Sunday Boat Rental: We have created a twilight special for our motorboats. After 4:00PM on Sundays, motorboats can be rented for $20.00. That gives you over 4 hours of primetime fishing.

FREE Fishing Classes: Lake Jennings Fishing University will hold a fishing class this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. The classes concentrate on what is working best. This week’s class will talk about fishing cats. Most importantly, the classes are FREE! Ranger Hugh will be the professor.
