I
have to apologize to all who have written me and wondered how
come I stopped putting up a report. After my last report I
turned in my Triton and have been working on getting my new
one. I'm happy to announce I am back on the water in my new
Bass Cat Puma, with a 225 Merc Pro XS. A great big thanks go
out to Fred Jones from Parkway Marine for all his help in getting
me information on the different options that come with a Bass
Cat and putting me in my new Puma. Those of you who know me
are aware that I tournament fish professionally. After breaking
down on the St. Johns river several years ago I was rescued
by a fellow tournament angler who was driving a Bass Cat The
wind was pretty stiff that day and the water very choppy. That
one ride made a lasting impression on me and I have been leaning
toward a Bass Cat ever since. Fred took time out of his day
on several occasions to help me make a decision. Fred sells
Bass Cat and Legend boats now, and besides being very knowledgeable
in the lines of boats and motors he sells he's also a very
good fisherman. Thanks Fred! If anyone wants to go for a ride
to see what I'm talking about just drop me an e-mail. With
that being said and being on the Lake again after a two month
hiatus I have some great news for all you bass and striper
fisherman.
BASS FISHING: Ledges, ledges, ledges. Location,
location, location. Find the right ledge and you can catch
the bag of a lifetime. Summer pattern is here and it's on fire.
The Extreme Bass tournament went out of Ingram's today and
there were three bags over 20 lbs. Not bad for only nine boats!
As I road around the lake watching the tournament boats (there
were several tournaments out there today) I witnessed fish
after fish being caught on points and ledges with crank baits
and c'rigs. I was doing the same. I just about religiously
throw a crank bait this time of year. I throw mine on a spinning
rod with 10lb. test Trilene, 100% flourocarbon. 3/8 -1/2 oz
in either shad or firetiger color. Had one today just over
8lbs. You can find schools of fish chasing bait near the mouth
of creeks but they are smaller. The bigger fish are coming
off of the main lake points. Use your depth finder to locate
the shad and the bass are right under them.
CRAPPIE FISHING: Have not been so I cannot report.
If anyone has info on the spec fishing they would like to
share let me know and I will put it in with next times report.
STRIPER FISHING: Any one who has fished Lake
Talquin more than once has heard of Mike Mercuri. Mike is a
great guy and an expert on Lake Talquin striper fishing. He
tells me he's been catching as many as 30 a day when he wants
to. I'll forward any inquiries to Mike about striper or largemouth
guided trip. Mike says they "come up schooling like they
used to" and the fun is on!
Hope this helps, and I'm really glad to be back on the water.
Look for me out there in my new Bass Cat Puma. Siver, gold, and
red striping. Stop by and say hi and let me know you read the
report on Pro Bass.
It's really hot out there so use lots of sun screen and drink
plenty of liquids and until next time, Let's go fishing!
Till then, be safe and happy fishing.

Howwwwwwwwwwwwdy
Peeps ;o) !!!! Bet ya thought I fell off the face of the earth
huh ? Well maybe ya didn't, but my friend sure fell out of da'
boat yesterday , hahahahahahahahahahahahaha !!!! That's a whole
nother' story though , hahahahaha ;o)
Typical Summer pattern a brewin' on Gorgeous Lake Talquin ! Bass
are shallow early and deep in the afternoon after say 12:00 or
so.....In the mornen' throw a white spinner bait (blades don't
seem to matter) and make that wake on the surface with them blades
like I was talkin' 'bout last report , it does work believe me
!!!! Buzz baits are workin' just okay it seems.. Frogs are doing
pretty fair too.... After lunch get that Carolina rig out and fish
some deeper water with a blueberry or any other dark trick worm
really S - l - o w !! That will get you bit if your patient enough
.... If that doesn't work then get your light weight spinnin' rod
out and start hittin' the deeper docks with the smallest weight
you can get away with and a trick worm , that will surely get you
bit.... Patience patience patience is the key........ Peace Out
fer' now
