Thread: moving to lake talquin

There are several of us on here that fish Talquin regularly..We all are in need of a friend/buddy that has a HOUSE on Talquin so we can all have a place to crash at...Seriously, most of us stay at Lake Talquin Lodge about 4-5 miles up the lake from where you will be staying at. I have an uncle that lives down close to the dam on Blount Creek..Myself, Lightwirehooker, Rawhide, Chuck Auten, Heavylead, No Mercy, 30More, Crappielimits and Quickhook are just a few of us that fish there regularly. Talquin is more of a Longlining lake for crappie, but people have had success slow trolling also...Lots of good fishing for catfish, shellcrackers, bluegills, stripers and bass..Looking forward to meeting you in the future!!

Welcome! Pm me anytime you have questions! I agree longlining is the best way to hit Talquin most of the year, but I have caught a ton spider rigging. It is especially great in the winter and some summer months as we do get a good thermocline at times.

Good to have you at Talquin....plan on spending lots of time in May. May has been good month the last couple years for Crappie. We be staying at Lake Talquin Lodge......good place to purchase jigs and of course "Litewirehooks".

I will be living on the lake the next cove west of blount creek. when i used to fish talquin, i did nothing but longlining-two 1/16oz.curly tail jigs per rod usually. fished ochlawaha,stoudamire,blount,polk,harvey mill creeks primarily. never fished the lake east of williams landing nor the ochlockonee river. went to slow trolling down here (leesburg) for lake monroe, lake harris, st john's river. stay in touch. jim.

Good to hear from you. i have fished talquin quite a bit in the past when i lived in alabama. love the lake. i fish lake monroe and lake harris and st johns river down here, but l like talquin better because of all the structure(wood) and creek arms. love to hunt with sonar. stay in touch. jim
