Hello from your Lake Jennings!
Trout anglers are switching tactics fishing everything from Shiners to Mice Tails, even crankbaits produced a bite. The trick is finding them and once you've done that you're half way there with most catches being in the 5-8 pound range. Temperatures permitting we will stock one last time next week with 800 pounds of "Lightning Trout" and 200 pounds of "Trophy Trout" and we will continue to give away prizes over the next two weeks. Check your trout for a tag and if you don't see one you still have a chance to win. Weigh your trout at the Bait & Tackle shop for a "Blind Bogey" prize by having one of the predetermined weights. We have great prizes to give away from the following sponsors:


Lakeside Bait & Tackle (Gift Certificates and Tackle)

Pure Fishing (Parent company of Berkley, Fenwick Rods and Shakespeare Rods-Provided Fishing Rods, Bait & Tackle)

Bass Brigade (Shirts, Hats, Stickers)

Optimum Baits (Tackle)

AAs Plastics (Tackle)

Lake Jennings Campground (Fishing Permits, 2-Night Stay at Campground and Full Day Motor Boat use)


Rules and Regulations are posted in the Bait & Tackle shop and only "Tagged Trout" and "Blind Bogey Trout" caught on Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday" are eligible to win.


Bass fishermen are mostly working the shoreline as they move all the way around the lake. There are some who prefer to stay away from the nests and stick with the drop shot, and I will tell you, they are out-fishing everyone else. Those fishing the drop shot method are catching bass on almost every cast but pay attention to sunlight, water clarity and whether you're fishing the wide open or the shade and use colors accordingly.



Best Catfish Spots: Deeper waters and the buoyline at the tower
Best Catfish Bait: Mackerel, Chicken Liver, or Dough Bait

Best Bass Spots: Fishing off the points away from shore, working around the shoreline for spawn.
Best Bass Lures/Bait: Drop Shot, Jigs and Swimbaits

Best Wiper Spots: Deep waters
Best Wiper Lures/Bait: Live Shiners, Chicken Liver and frozen Anchovies

Best Trout Spots: All the Coves and Trolling (slow at surface)
Best Trout Lures/Bait: PowerBait, PowerWorms, Mini Jigs and Nightcrawlers



Water Temperature: 62 degrees

Prognosis: As Spring approaches we will continue to see a change in the bite. Bass and Sunfish are expected to pick up and Trout are also expected to hang in there until April. We expect to sell out for "Spring Break" at the Campground so if you have not made plans yet do so quickly. Lake Jennings has a few Full Hookup sites available for Long Term during the Spring and Summer and now offers a Weekly Rate.
