I usually longline troll at Talquin. Lake Talquin can be a killer lake this time of the year with the spawn going on. Even the post spawn is a good time to fish Talquin for crappie. The bass fishing is usually pretty good this time of year and Lake Talquin Lodge has minnows, shiners or whatever you need to fish for whatever you are fishing for. I can't help much on the bass, but you probably will not have to go to far from the boat landing at Lake Talquin Lodge for some good crappie fishing. The mouths of most of the creeks and Goat Island will probably be a good place to start. The fishing was slow at Talquin over this past weekend but it doesn't stay slow for long. This week is looking good weather wise and the fish will probably be picking up by mid week with this small cold front that just moved thru....As far as Jackson goes, I can't tell you a thing....Good Luck!!!!
