Hello from your Lake Jennings!:
Finally, the trout found their appetite. It was limited to the Eagle Cove area. You could cast from the Cactus Patch side or the Eagle Point side. Salmon Peach Power Bait, dropshotting orange Power Worms and inflated night crawlers are the stringer trifecta. We also had some channel cats coming from the channel in Hermit Cove for a couple of shore anglers. As usual for this time of the year, the dam buoyline is working for boats.

Best Catfish Spots: Hermit cove channel and anywhere along the dam buoyline.
Best Catfish Bait: Mackerel and chicken livers. Use scent liberally.
Best Bass Spots: 40 to 50 ft. of water on the points.
Best Bass Lures/Bait: Orange crush worms and ice jigs in 50 ft. on the points.
Best Trout Spots: Cactus Patch in 50 ft of water.
Best Trout Bait: The bait that catches the most trout is a 2 way tie: Salmon Peach Power Bait and crawlers.

Prognosis: We will stock another 1000 lbs. of Sierra 'Bows on Tuesday Feb.5, 2013. The water temp is 58 and is ideal for active trout. Interestingly the afternoon water temp gets up to 60 degrees. Some bass are moving up shallow but move back to deeper water. Most 1's and 2's are caught in 50 ft. of water on the points. Larger fish can be seen shallow around the boat dock - some with trout tails sticking out of their mouth. Don't stop fishing for cats because the water is cold. Just fish deep!

Water Temperature: 58 degrees on surface.
