After only 3 weeks of writing “Lake Talquin Tales”, I would like to thank you for reading my column. I have received several calls telling me how much readers have enjoyed “Lake Talquin Tales.” One reader said she was not too much into fishing, but had enjoyed the history of Lake Talquin. My reply to her was “Once you have visited Lake Talquin and witnessed the beautiful sunrises and breathtaking sunsets, then you can appreciate and realize what great architect created such beauty!” Once again, thank you.
Pat Thomas Park, at Hopkins Landing, is one of the most popular campgrounds on the lake. The park is state operated, with a park ranger living on site. Offering sites for your RV or just “pitching a tent”, Pat Thomas Park offers all the accommodations you need to enjoy your stay. Park Ranger Robert Rosenberger at 850-875-4544.
Scott Haire and son Nolan along with friends Johnny and Susie Siets “pitched a tent” Friday, January 23, 2009. Scott set some Bush Hooks baited with Mullet and Took 9 Channel and Blue Cats ranging 3 to 8 pounds.
Catfish are still being taken using worms and catfish bait. Winter temperatures have completely stopped Bream and Shell-cracker. Crappie are still holding in deep water. However, good numbers are being reported at Whippoorwill and Ingram’s Marina. Your best bet is to Tight Line Curly Tail Jigs or Live Minnows. Saturday, February 7, 2009, Whippoorwill Lodge and Marina will host the Bass Pro-Shops “Crappie Masters Tournament.” Make plans to come over and see the Pros do their thing. For more information, call Jeff Dubree at (850) 627-2605.
Bass Fishing has been slowed some, but Dallas Johnson at Ingram’s Marina reports the Bass he has seen are really quality fish. Bass are still deep along the river and creek channels.
On Saturday, April 11, 2009, the Bass ‘n’ Gal Talquin Hookers will host the 31st Annual Lake Talquin Open Bass Tournament. I will be bringing more information about this event at a later date.
Until Next week, “Tight Line-Good Fishing,”
