Crappie:  The Crappie have been doing pretty good with couple of limits being caught the last few days.  Some are being caught in the pads and others trolling from Williams to Harvey Mill and in the creeks.  The best colors are acid rain, john deere, popcycle, and bubblegum.  Check out this catch http://www.laketalquinlodge.com/gallery/Fishing+at+Lake+Talquin/Chris+_amp_+Summer.JPG.html

Bass:  The Bass have been doing good in the shallows.  They are in the pads chasing shad all over the lake.

Bream/Shellcracker:  Doing Excellent on crickets and worms in the creeks.

Catfish:  Biting all over the lake.

Crappie:  The Crappie bite has been sporatic the last week.  Some males are being caught in the Pads early in the Morning and late in the afternoon.  The people trolling are catching a few in the mouth of the creeks.  The way things are looking, it will be later on in the month before the big females comes to the pads.  The fish eggs still have a little developing before they are ready to drop the eggs.  The most fish caught trolling the channel was 30 last Saturday.  April may be the best month ever…

Bass:  One fisherman caught 16 yesterday afternoon.  The largest was 5 and two 4 pounders.  He was casting plugs to the banks.  Most Bass Fishermen have been giving some good reports of fish being caught.

Bream/Shellcracker:  Little early

Catfish:  Some good catches of catfish on minnows and stinkbait.  Biting just about all over the lake.
