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!!
