I'm going camoing there on 6-8 and this time I'm taking my boat! I went last year and caught 1 smallmouth of the dam on a spinnerbait, But other than that I'm clueless. Any help?......

Do not go there. Fishing sucks.

No really, I was there about 3 weeks ago and we caught a bunch of Smallies and a few largemouth with the biggest pushing 5 lbs! Even got 2 trout on 4 inch worms.
Had a great day. Going back either Friday or Saturday.
I think the Smallmouth action may rival Tulloch but it will take a few more trips to determine that.

Jenkinson Lake Sly Park. How you catching them? Dropshottin? Any reaction bite? What part of the lake is best?

We were splitshotting some Green Weenie worms I made. Also got a few cranking. Tried topwater with no takers.

But Jenkinson can be fun!! Fish the back end with the flooded vegetation and into the creek/river arm towards the falls. The second dam ia also good for deep fish (dropshot/darthead).

I have never got on a good reation bite up there and I am not quite sure why, but that could be me. I would stick with greens and browns, the crawfish in that lake get huge!!! we used to set traps at night and have some awesome crawfish boils while deer hunting.
