I know this post is a little old, but i figured i would comment anyway. I fish lake talquin atleast 12+ times a year. We use the long lining method (8 poles with 6lb mono in rodd holders trolling between .7-1.2 mph, with LIGHTWIRE JIGS and grubs). Some great spots at lake talquin are boy scout (oklawaha), goat island, williams landing, Harvey creek, Polk creek, iron curtain, and little river when they spawn. As far as jig color goes bubble gum is our go-to color; however, don't just put bubble gum on every pole try a couple different colors such as lemon merainge, acid rain, blue and chartruese. I have been to both lodges and both were equally nice and friendly. Lake talquin lodge has a nicer tackle selection and will be glad to tell you where they are biting and what the hot bait/color is. Ingrams Marina does have the only gas on lake talquin. We choose Lake talquin lodge because it's a closer to the middle of the lake and easier to get to wherever your going and have a nice fish cleaning station. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
