CATFISH

The catfish bite this weekend was best in shallow waters. During the warmer months, shoreline fishing can be as productive as fishing from a boat because the cats are feeding in shallow water. Fish along the banks for Hermit Cove and Eagle Point or take a boat to Shadow Cove. 1000 lbs. of Catfish will be stocked this week. These cats will be hungry and waiting for you to drop your line! We are open every day this month at 6 a.m.!

BASS

The bass bite was reported steady throughout the weekend in Hermit Cove and Half Moon Cove. Anglers were using Senkos with a Texas Rig.

PANFISH

Bluegill were reported being caught mid-morning on night crawlers. Other effective techniques are a meal worm on a jighead or night crawler with a Carolina Rig.

CATCHES OF THE WEEK

Jace Sandoval of Lemon Grove reeled in this cat on Saturday night! He was fishing in Hermit Cove with cut mackerel. Would you like to see your catch in the Lake Jennings fish report? Post your photo and short description on Instagram at #lakejennings, message us on Facebook.
