After 3 weeks of almost ideal fishing weather, the past week was just the reverse. March "came in like a lamb and went out like a lion." With high winds and heavy rains (much needed I might add) the fishing on Lake Talquin came to a halt. There is not a single person I have talked with that was brave enough to even try to fish after Tuesday of this past week. I had the pleasure of a trip Tuesday, March 24th with Colonel Davis from Gulf Breeze. After 3½ hours of being blown around like a skateboard (and only 3 fish in the boat) we both agreed that enough was enough. I assured Colonel that better days are ahead and planned another trip in May.
With no reports up until deadline time, next weeks column should be filled with good reports on April 11, 2009.
The Bass ‘n’ Gal Talquin Hookers will host the 31st Annual Lake Talquin Open Bass Tournament. This is a "new boat format." The lake is off limits for all contestants from Monday, April 6th through Saturday, April 11th.
First place prize is $1000 and big fish $200. If you are interested in entering, you can contact Sarah Johnson at 850-627-2241 for more information. Also, the Leon County Sheriff’s Office is sponsoring the 2009 Annual Bass Tournament on Saturday, April 18th. Cash Prizes will be paid 1st through 20th place with 1st place paying $2000 Competition. The Biggest Bass requires an additional $10 per boat fee with a 100% payout to the winner. This is always a big event with country style food for the spectators for $4.00 a plate.
Entertainment will be provided at the conclusion of the tournament.
