Coming down to Talquin in a couple of weeks. Need some advice on jig head size and color. plan on longline trolling. I was there several years ago and if I remember I was suprised at the depth to be a florida lake. Caught some big black crappie. Looking foward to getting back. Thanks for the help
Depending on weather, things will change. Most folks using 1/16's. Colors is a guessing game at times. You'll know more when U get there. Where U staying?Quote:

Usually we are running double 1/16’s unless they are deep in the channel then run a 1/8 and 1/16
I was down there Saturday, and pulled double 1/16 and single 1/8 oz jigs. Fish seemed to be in 16 to 20 ft of water.

Talquin advice.....Don't compete against Curtis Hobbs in a tourney. Man can catch some Talquin crappie. Maybe you should pm him. "litewirehooker"
Best advice.....look for boats......Litewirehooks.....they should be in mouths of creeks .....
All depends on weather
Hey guys, i usually hang out on the SC boards. Just booked weekend of 2/15-18 at LTL. First trip down to Talquin for me. Hoping the rain has moved out by the time i arrive. First day fishing is 2/16. Ive been reading over the Talquin posts on the board. Looking forward to trying the place out. I have a Lowe tunnel jet, so hopefully i can dodge the stumps i hear are all over the place. Surely not as bad as Rodman! :)
Dodging/Hitting stumps is part of the Talquin experience!:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl:RoflQuote:

I'll lost more depth finder transponders than anything at Talquin hitting those floaters. Hurricane moved some stuff around so been fun looking out for those!Quote:

Talquin is definitely not as bad as Rodman and a lot of it is well under the water. Be careful running in creeks and keep yours eyes open when running. Best to drop a track and run same track every time.
Fishing will be different this year with the high muddy water and multiple fronts. I expect the major spawn to be late but with all the fertile runoff we have had crappie are very fat. 2/16 expect fish to be in or near the river channel. By March they will be scattered heading to spawning grounds.
Jigheads will vary with fisherman. I carry 1/48,1/32,1/24,1/16,3/32,1/8,3/16 and 1/4. I have friends who don't have trouble catching fish using only 1/16 and adding different weight split shots to get depth. I also carry every size split shot and use them at times to quickly adjust to find the key weight to to get down to fish. Split shot is much more affordable than jigheads.

W great information here, i sure do miss the southeast crappie fishing. Thank you for helping my buddy khnc, kenny i hope you get into them. I have tons of 1/16 roadrunners if you need me to send a couple packs.
Thanks Tim! I will sure let you know how it goes! I know its cold out your way now! I have ordered a few doz litewire jigs for down there too. I still have a good supply of roadrunners. I appreciate the offer tho! Looking forward to getting down there to some warm weather and good fishing!Quote:
