How has the bass fishing been on Lake Talquin the last few weeks? How high is it with all the extra water the last few months?

The lake is only .3 ft above average. As far as fishing goes, reports I've heard that it is slow at the moment. If there is a warming trend for a week or so, bass will be moving up to spawn.  Our club has a tourney there near the end of Feb., I would except the fish to be in all stages of the spawn by then. Of course, this all depends on the weather.

Thanks

We will be fishing it next week. I will let you know how it goes.

So how did your trip go? I am coming down for crappie on the 16th myself. 

I'll probably see you there, our club has a bass tourney on the 17th. launching from Talquin Lodge.

Thats cool. I am staying at LTL til monday. I will have my Lowe 1860 Tunnel Jet crappie boat with me this time. Leaving bass boat at home. Center console camo. Im guessing it will be prime bass weather too! I will have a couple rods in the boat in case i stumble on a nice one to sight fish! Good luck on the 17th! 

Thanks, I'll be in a White Triton 18XS pulled by an F250, should get there sometime around 2pm on Sat.  The bass fishing should be good, high of 78 on Sunday (moving up to bed). Good luck with the Crappie fishing, lots of crappie fisherman there this weekend. Talquin Lodge was booked up.

Yeah, the lodge has called me twice to make sure im still coming. Said the waiting list is very long! im sure the crappie are on beds by now too. 

How was the fishing? When we went 2 weeks ago the bass fishing was tough. It was still cold and muddy. Only 10 of 24 boats weighed a fish and only 3 or 4 boats had a limit.

Bass fishing was terrible, I couldn't put anything together for the day. I did mange to find my back seater  big bass of the tourney at 5.1 lbs. Caught lots of Jacks and even a catfish. Water temp was 62 to 62 and dirty.

Crappie bite was very strong. I never even attempted to catch a bass. Did not hear much good about the bass bite all weekend .
