lake talquin crappie.
Fished Ocklawaha creek 8:30am today 3/2/25. I was the only boat in there on a sunday!!! Water temp. 63 degrees. Ocklawaha has traditionally been the creek for spawning. I live in the very back of hammock creek, also good spawning grounds. 3 boats all weekend. Talked to two who caught nothing. I am still long lining, haven't, and probably won't, switch to forward sonar. My neighbor has and we both believe last year was the worst year for crappie we have seen here. Too much pressure with too many spawning fish being talken out of the lake. We need to change to a 15 fish daily limit and 12'' length restriction. A draw down of the lake would be best, but that won't happen.

I longlined woodruff yesterday and it wasn’t great. Saw plenty of fish on ffs but they weren’t buying what I was selling. Might be this little cool front cuz I’ve had the best season in 20 years down this way. I live on the south end of George proper. Also I was only boat out there which is nuts; 2 weeks ago there was 30-40 boats on a weekday. It’s about over and time to switch to stripers/wipers next warm front. Caught 1/2 dozen other day between Glenn and salt.

I come down to Talquin a couple times a year and tend to agree with the FFS issues! We were remarking that only a couple years ago everyone was pulling jigs with a couple tight liners mixed in. This year I was the only jig puller in Boyscout with 7 other boats scoping. Not saying it is wrong only that it allows one to handpick the larger fish and it does take it's toll!! Its a wonderful fishery and i hope it stays that way!
Tight lines to you all
