Report: Lake Talquin

Fishing lake Talquin this time of year is one of the best times to catch large crappie. The crappie are in the middle of the lake (Out from Ingrams and Boy Scout) in 18 - 22 foot of water. Best way to catch is longline Trolling using double 1/16 Heads and curley tail jigs (Bubblegum, Acid Rain). Another option is to use 1/16 Head and either 1 or 2 #7 pieces of lead about 14 inches up from the hook. Troll anywhere from .9 to 1 MPH.......Hint: Look for other boats and if you see birds diving........Stay away from them.......stripes and they will ruin your day. This is the size fish you will catch.....24 in a 5 Gallon Bucket. Largest on top is almost 15 inches long.......Fish will stay in open water for next month.....normally.
