That would be a very good place to start. That area has been where the fish have been at for about a week now...If it is slow, just work your way to the dam...Should be a good time and place for them the next couple of weeks.Quote:

I wasn't paying attention and heard some racket and one of my rods with double jigs was bent over, i thought I hung the bottom but happy to find out it was a channel cat about 2 1/2lbs. Fished for a while with nothing and was daydreaming again and heard more racket and luckily the rod in the back was in the rod holder or it would have been gone! It had a minnow on it about 7ft deep, it was tearing off drag and I grabbed the rod, fought it for a while and got it close to the boat then the hook pulled, Damn! Didn't even get to see it, my guess a stripper, not a cat, no spinning or slime.
Fished till almost 5 and that was it, only seen one other boat out and he was bass fishing. I fished the channel edge, points, and over the flooded timber. I marked fish everywhere but no one home. I also fished boat docks on the main lake. I tried everything. I will try again after xmas. Happy holidays everyone and what i'd like for xmas is some helpful hints on where to try when I get back.:D
captcharles29............welcome to the board and a great lake. The wind can be down right awful at times on Talquin.
Hooker...Nice mess there...dont want to take any of your spots but my dad and brothers and I are thinking about making our first trip to talquin and we were wondering if you or anyone else could give us a hint as to what part of the lake you guys were fishing. It is about a 5 hour drive for us and we want to make sure that we arent fishing dead water when we come up! Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give. Good Luck.
sorry dog........... going to talquin tomorrow 5am.... lots of fog... no wind... will give you an update after lunch
Several Friends are at Talquin this week. I plan on going next Monday and stay until the 6th of January when I have to come home and get my other tooth worked on. It's been a good year so far and hope 2009 will keep the big ones coming. Used to fish for numbers but now I fish for the enjoyment and hope for the one fish that fills up my dipnet that's not a GAR. The fish at Talquin move from one week to the next especially with this weather so it's hard to tell where to find them. I usually ask Rusty at Lake Talquin Lodge and he keeps up with where the fish "were" biting....if you know what I mean. Merry Christmas
