Personally, from a safety point of view, I would not take on Talquin in a 10 ft jon boat...or any sizable lake for that matter. I have seen the wind get up in a hurry at Talquin to the point that I wasn't comfortable being in my 17 ft fiberglass boat. The 17 1/2 Alumicraft that I used to have and the 17 ft fiberglass boat I have now have taken on some water on a rough day and I would hate to experience how a 10 ft jon boat would react to rough water. Even on a calm day, the wakes of some boats are pretty tough on a smaller boat....Just my thoughts.
