Lake Jennings Weekly Report

  • Stocking: So far this season we have stocked 3500 pounds of catfish! The next stocking will be the week of June 21st. We will stock a total of 10,000 pounds this season. For an updated stocking schedule, click HERE.
  • What's the catch? We had a light westerly wind this weekend stirring up the food chain for the catfish and bass. There were bites of both reported near big rock and Hermit Cove. Although mackerel and chicken liver are a good go-to bait for catfish, try mixing it up with a little Spam, anchovies, or even hot dogs. The best time of day to fish for bass this time of year is going to be sunset when light penetration is minimal and bass are feeding. Bluegill can be the best fish to catch during the heat of the afternoon. Try using a nightcrawler along the Cloister or Half Moon Cove shorelines where there is lots of cover.
  • 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 $14/hour or $34 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.
  • Fireside at the Lake: The next date for lakefront firepit rentals is Friday, July 16th. Firepit rental includes wood, fire starter, and 6 Adirondack chairs. Limited availability. Book yours today by calling 619-596-1306!
  • New Lake Hours: With catfish season comes new lake hours! We are extending our hours on Saturdays, 6:00 a.m. to midnight (entrance gate closes at 10:00 p.m.) and Sundays, 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (entrance gate closes at 4:00 p.m.) Night fishing hours on Friday remain the same 3:00 p.m. to midnight.
  • Campground News: We are now renting cornhole sets for the weekend (Friday & Saturday night) to registered campers. Sets include two boards and 8 bags. They are $40 for the whole weekend. We will deliver the set to your campground and pick it up on Sunday upon departure. Call the campground at 619-596-1306 to reserve yours today. Sets are first come, first served.
  • 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 district is filling the lake at a rate of 2" per day until June 17th. The current temperature is 71 degrees. For a complete weather report in Lakeside, click HERE.
  • 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.
