Lake Talquin specks should start spawning very soon, we started fishing Tuesday in 61 degree h2o, its up to 72 today (Friday), most fish are staging in creek mouths, but we caught plenty in 10ft water, Also hearing guys are doing well in 2-3fow. Took 15 today pushing minnows with 4- 14ft Southern poles, big females are showing eggs and plump as could be. Sure wish I could stay all weekend, love this lake.Attachment 331716Attachment 331717Attachment 331718

That’s what I’m sayin Howard. It’s not around the corner so a long weekend and an overnight or two is needed for my way of thinking. all the stories about the legendary piggies that live there have my interest. Good Job Tom, some nice fish.
Looks like Blounts?Quote:

Oh yes, I remember I guess you cant forget a mug like mine, lol. It sounds like you guys had them dialed in, this is the second year winter fishing Talquin my wife and I didnt catch numbers but the sizes made up for that. You southern guys are lucky to have such good waters, catching 10" whites in the mud puddles of Ohio this Spring will take some getting used to again. We followed the Crappie masters tourney unknowingly from St.Johns to Talquin searching for the throw backs, lol. Im going to have to learn to long line most of the guys I talked to did well that way. Hopefully I will see you all next Feb. TomQuote:

Talquin is on my bucket list. I don't mind the drive. I guess I just haven't made it a priority. Thanks for posting. Have a safe trip home.
We fished Saturday until lunch and did fair. No 2 lbers but a few were pushing that 2 lb mark. Lots of quality coming from Talquin this year. We mainly stayed close to the channel pulling jigs. Going back for 3 days this weekend.
I forgot....No pics then it aint true says Speckanator :Rofl Caught 15, kept 9 Gooduns for my neighbor.

Rough, but very productive day monday 2/25/19. howling winds funneled from a cove through two points. over 20 m.p.h. 43 degrees at launch time. tough to keep the boat on track. fished from 7am to 10am when the wind got worse, i went in. got 15 crappie. 4 over 2 pounds. 10 best 19 pounds. purple body chartreuse tails and pink body chartreuse tails longlining in the mouth of our creek. staging and ready to spawn soon. going out again today. wind already up. where's the dial to turn it down?? at least it's warmer.
I hope you find that dial to turn it down!!! Or maybe it will just get tired of blowing and be fishable by Friday. Either way, we'll be there giving it our best shot between the rain showers. I'm syre we'll be trying the mouth of your creek. Not far from where we will be staying and lots of trash pile to fish in that area...Save us a few!!
20mph winds makes it hard to see all the stumps, i know i hit one on my last day there, luckly i was going slow. Luckly little damage but im changing the prop before spring.

I know what you mean. I bumped one last Saturday while I was on Talquin. Never saw it so it must have been just under the water. I noticed that some stumps had been moved around since the hurricane and saw things sticking up out of the water that I have never seen before. Gotta be careful for sure!!!Quote:

That's good to know. Watching the weather for SaturdayQuote:
