Thread: looking for information on Talquin.

Pull deep water near the damn area of the lake

I'm no help up there Steve, never been. Lots of others and some of the Georgia boys are up on all the poop.

Are there any White crappie there?
Are there submerged standing trees along the river channel?
Do you find them suspended or near the bottom this time of year?
Are the docks productive in the winter?
Thanks in advance for any and all information.
I'd be glad to return the favor on southern middle Tn. lakes.

No white crappie
Literally submerged timber EVERYWHERE. In the channel, outside the channel, literally everywhere.
I'm sure you could find fish on some docks but i'd focus my efforts elsewhere pulling. Just my preference.

Try pulling the channel ledges and work your way onto the flats next to the channel. They shouldn't be in the creek mouths....yet.

This cold will have them laying deep

Does anyone know water temperature?

What he said! Going next week so Ill know more. Pull channels this time of the year.

I have been the beginning of February the last 4-5 years and usually pulling double 1/16 jigs in and around the channels and channel ledges works best for us. Sometimes if it’s colder or wind picks up we will run a 1/8 and a 1/16 jig
