Stocking: We put another 1,000 pounds of catfish in the lake last week bringing our total stock up to 9,000 pounds. The last stock of 1,000 pounds will go into the lake the week of October 25th. For the time being, we will remain open for night fishing on Fridays and Saturdays. For an updated stocking schedule, click HERE.
What's the catch? Catfish were biting on inflated night crawlers, dough baits, and mackerel. Half Moon and Hermit Cove were producing during night fishing this weekend. The bass continue to bite on the southeastern shoreline of the lake. Texas rig and Senkos, as well as jerkbaits were enticing the bass bite. Cloister Cove and the t-dock are the best places to reel in panfish. Our rangers recommend using a drop shot rig with nightcrawlers in our lake as you can easily adjust the depth of your set depending on where you're fishing. Closer to shore stay shallow in the reeds; off the t-dock go a little deeper for a bite. Don't forget to send us pics of your catch! You can tag us @lakejennings on social media or email them to ranger@lakejennings.org.
Trout Season: The first trout stocking of the season is typically in mid to late November. The water temperature must decrease to 72 degrees before our first stocking. A stocking schedule and event details on the Trout Opener will be announced in the coming weeks.
