Alright guys, as of today September 13, 2010, the Gadsden County Chamber of Commerce (Lake Talquin), has decided to put fishing as a tourist attraction, on the back burner. What that means for you as fishermen is that no tournaments such as Crappie Master or the GA SlabMasters will be held there. It's time for us to stand up and voice our concerns. This Lake and the surrounding businesses is a great asset that we cannot afford to see gone. Without help from the Chamber, other projects such as roads, parks and other recreational projects will also lack funding. We as the fishermen bring in out of state dollars that help pay for the projects (motels, lodging, food, fuel). We feel that this lake is one of the premium fisheries of the south. At this time I would like to encourage all anglers to contact the Gadsden County Chamber and let them know that you want fishing in Gadsden County kept at the forefront of their tourism focus.
