Stocking: The lake was stocked with 1,000 pounds the week of July 4th. The next stocking of 1,000 pounds will be the week of July 25th. The catfish stocking schedule can be viewed HERE.
What's the catch? The water temps are warming and the fish are a bit lethargic during the day. The catfish bite was good Friday evening with limits pulled from Cloister and Hermit Cove. Mackerel continues to be the bait of choice. The Bluegill bite seemed to be exclusively in Half Moon Cove this weekend. Fish the shallow areas with vegetation. A piece of nightcrawler or meal worm should encourage a bite. Don't sleep on the bass! The campground shoreline and Half Moon Cove are good bass spots especially early morning and late evening. They tend to bite on plastics or top water lures in our lake. Try casting out past the structure. 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.
