| Over the years I have read numerous articles and books about bass fishing during the dog days of summer. I think I know what to do. I have two depth finders on my boat and a GPS unit with depth contours of the bottom of Lake Talquin. I know where the deep holes, channels, and drop-offs are. I have the marker buoys to mark them. I have eight or more rods rigged with all varietes of jigs, Carolina-rigged worms, Texas-rigged worms, drop-shot and shakey head worms, and DD14 and DD22 crankbaits. I can't buy a bass on Talquin right now. I know there are guys like Rob Lawhon who can catch fish on Talquin this time of year, but I sure am not one of them. Right now I am really looking forward to some cooler weather.

| I personally don't know much about fishing on Talquin, but I do look forward to the weather starting to break for cooler temps. The fall is my favorite time of the year and a great time to be outside.

| I had my boat docked there for several years. At this time of year in early mornings you find them hanging around the lilly pads. By 9:00 they start drifting to a the deep channel that was the orignal creek before the valley was flooded. Caroline rig going slow is the right stuff. By evenings, I would catch my biggest ones near the docks. There is a marina directly across from goat island that is perfect. Use a swimming shad. Given time and watching the bottom, you will learn where they are. But hay as one "God" said, "I cannot believe people listen to popeyes advise" So I will just say Good Luck and enjoy any time on the water cause it is preferable to digging a ditch.
