Stocking: The lake was stocked with 1,000 pounds last week. The next stocking will be the week of August 15th. The lake has been stocked with 3,750 pounds of catfish so far this season. The catfish stocking schedule can be viewed HERE.
What's the catch? The productive fishing holes for catfish this weekend were Hermit, Cloister, and Siesta Coves. Catfish were biting on shrimp, mackerel, and night crawlers. The bass bite has been busy at the t-dock and the campground shoreline especially around sunset. Bass were biting on black flake Senkos. Drop shot is a good rig to use in clear water. Reports of blue gill from most shallow coves in the lake. Fishermen reported catching 5-6 at a time. A piece of nightcrawler or meal worm usually encourages 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.
Conditions: The district is drawing water from the lake so expect lots of shoreline to fish from in the coming weeks. Please be mindful of changing shorelines as the lake levels drop. The surface temperature around the boat dock is 81.6 degrees. The sun is rising around 5:45 a.m. and setting about 8:00 p.m. For a complete weather report in Lakeside, click HERE.
