Trip to lake Talquin

[sinkermaker]

I left Wednesday morning to go to lake Talquin for the fall slab fest. Was about an 8 hour drive which was made without any problems ( thank the Lord ). Met TNT from the Georgia board when I got there and went out with him for a couple hours. Of course what he caught fish on I did not have. We fished Thursday and Friday and had a fish fry Friday night. Sat we got up to about a 30 to 40 mph wind which was rough fishing. We had a fruit jar tournament hosted by Slab. Bite was slow sat and we quit at 12 for the weigh in. 5 fish per boat and a little over 6 lbs won it. After a hot dog lunch I headed home to surprise the wife. I was supposed to stay till Sunday but I was not gonna fish in that wind. I got to put faces with screen names and really enjoyed the fellowship. I met the head gewber and his dog. Most people fishing were trolling and anything bright blue was a good color. We fished with 1/16 oz jigs with a number 5 split shot added. Water temp was 78 degrees. I had fun and hoping to attend some more. I am hoping Tim will post pictures for me.

Sounds like a tough, but enjoyable trip was had. Congrats, and glad for the safe travels.

Here you go don, your pics you wanted me to post, the lack of catch fish has me concerned though =)

Good report Don, but man that wind had to be brutal. What is a "Fruit Jar" tournament? I've seen the term but never knew what it was.

Thanks for posting for me Tim. There were a lot of fish caught I just did not take any pictures. Friday was my best day I had 11 keepers. The only difference I see in a fruit jar as compared to a regular tournament is the name and who ever organizes it makes the rules. It was weigh in 5 fish and 1 2 3 won a prize pack from Slab.

Looks and sounded like an awesome trip Don.
Maybe next year I'll be able to go.

Glad you made it there safe and sound. It must have been a little rough but glad you made out okay!
