Reading the FWC website, when they look at resource management of a particular water the opinion of anglers carries weight in a scientific study. I'm new to fishing Talquin so have no historical knowledge of the fishery to draw from. There are obviously many opinions from good stewards of the resource from Florida, Alabama, and Georgia, and other states. I'm for returning the conversation to this direction. If enough interest is shown maybe FWC will schedule a Talquin study in their budget.

I visited Humminbird in Eufaula yesterday and talked to some of their employees about Lake Eufaula. Crappie have been crazy up there for weeks with limits being caught on a regular bass. I'm going to get me an Alabama license and go back up there with my boat. Have wanted to fish the lake for years. At the state park just north of town shoreline anglers have been doing very well with crappie and cats.

Never saw where this pertained only to Talquin? When a broad poll is placed without direction this happens. Re read and still can not find anywhere is says on Talquin only.

Guys and gals, thank you for your input. You all have brought up some great points. The best is that we all love crappie fishing and want to see it preserved so that the youth will be able to enjoy.

I have asked Flycaster to close this thread, it has served it's purpose.

Thanks

Chuck
