Stocking: The next stocking of 1,000 pounds of catfish is this week! We will stock a total of 10,000 pounds this season. For an updated stocking schedule, click HERE.
What's the catch? Bass were hitting on plastics and Kastmasters this weekend. Half Moon Cove and Siesta Cove were the top producing locations. Bluegill were biting on nightcrawlers from the campground shoreline on Saturday. The catfish bite was strongest first thing in the morning and after sunset. Boats were reeling in limits near the buoy line and Shadow Cove. Please remember a full size lantern is required after 8:00 p.m. Not having any luck fishing from shore? The T-dock is perfect for casting into a variety of depths and all species of fish are regularly caught there.
The campground shoreline is now open for fishing Monday-Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Stop by the kiosk and purchase your fishing permit. We have a limited selection of bait available as well.
Kayak Rentals: It's a beautiful time of year to get out on the lake for a paddle and some fresh air! We have sit inside kayaks for rent at the bait shop for $10/hour or $30 for a four hour rental. Pack a picnic lunch and paddle out to one of our shady shorelines for a delightful afternoon at the lake.
Conditions: The aerator has been turned on for the season, so as the water circulates the temps in the water column will level out. The current temperature is 71 degrees. For a complete weather report in Lakeside, click HERE.
Campground News: We are taking reservations for long term camping! Our long term season Is September to March. Long term reservations are a minimum of 30 nights and maximum of 90 nights. Full and partial hook-up sites available. For more information call (619) 596-1333.
Have you seen the big green chair? If you find it and post a selfie in the chair make sure you tag @lakejennings for a free fishing permit! We'll message you for your phone and email and load a permit on your rewards account. You can redeem your freebie at the bait shop or campground kiosk the next time you go fishing.
We love receiving pictures from our fishermen and campers! If you have a picture to share, please send it to ranger@lakejennings.org and we may feature it in our newsletter or social media pages.
