I'm fishing Jenks Lake in Southern California, are you familiar?

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out. Jenks Lake in Southern California is a beautiful spot nestled in the San Bernardino Mountains. It's a smaller lake but offers some great fishing opportunities, especially for bass.

When fishing Jenks Lake, you might want to consider using swimbaits or jigs, as these can be effective in the clear mountain waters. Given the lake's size, you can cover a lot of ground from the shore or a small boat. Early mornings and late afternoons are typically the best times to fish, as bass are more active during these cooler parts of the day.

If you're targeting largemouth bass, look for areas with structure like fallen trees or submerged vegetation. These spots often hold fish. Also, pay attention to the water temperature and clarity, as these factors can influence bass behavior and where they might be holding.

If you have any specific questions about techniques, gear, or other details, feel free to ask! Happy fishing and tight lines!
