Lake Talquin, Tallahassee Fl. Does anyone know if this lake is Hot Boat friendly ????

[antioch01]

Looking at some property on Lake Talquin. And not being from the Tallahassee area, was wondering if this was a Jet / V-drive tollerant lake. I have not read anything in here about this lake and was hoping someone here may know.
Thanks

I don't think Lake Talquin is very hot boat friendly. Lot of nature people from tallahassee like to canoe and kayak out there. I live on Lake Seminole about forty miles north and there is plenty of places up here to run. The lake is made from two rivers that come together so there is no shortage of places to go and the cops don't mess with you. Most people hang out in Bainbridge on the river just north of Tallahassee on 27. They just got a new mega ramp park and there are alot of sandbars here to hangout on. http://bainbridgega.com/news/publish/092910ramps.shtml
We also have boat racing here and in Quincy just south of the dam. Drag racing and roundy round boats. Let me know if you ever come up to this area and we can ride. You going to Lake Kerr this year?

I wondered about that, most of what I have read was just as you say, Kayak and canoe. Do you know of any acreage up in your area ? Ideal property would be an acre or so with an old single wide. Looking for property with utilities already existing. I will do some searching in your area.
Thanks, Oh ya, we are planning on Lake Kerr. Have you heard any dates ?

[carykard]

I haven't heard of any dates, but maybe its the same as last year. I'll keep an eye out for you on the land.

I sent Martin a message but no answer so far. I will forward the dates to you if I hear from him.

lake talquin is not hot boat friendly at all its for of stumps , i've fished it for years and there isn't any sand bars

[antioch01]

We have a squirter so stumps are not an issue. The area we are looking at is on the South end just above the dam. It looks like the depth is 68' all year long according to the info I could find. I thought this would be the deepest end of the lake. The North end looks like it has more hazards. We just wondered about noise etc. We did not see any signs prohibiting motors over 5 HP like some fishing lakes but also did not see or hear any Hot Boats. Are there any of the high speed bass boats on the lake ?? Looks like there are several boat ramps. Any theft or vandalism issues ??
Are you running a V-drive ??

[antioch01]

The word is it will be the same dates as last year, June 25, 26. See ya there

lake george is where we bought property(georgetown)no issues at all with the law we run up and down the st johns river ,there is a sand bar south of dunns creek which leads into crescent lake.also silver glen(too shallow with a lot of weeds ) we stay outside at the beach area

[antioch01]

Dreamcatcher, are you going to the Lake Kerr meet ? We will be there June 23 - 26. We were going to check out Lake George also. Would like to talk with you if you make it.

[dreamcatcher]

looking forward to it already have a cabin reserved at the elite resort.we looked at property around lake kerr and found it was more than what i wanted to spend.then discovered georgetown cove and have a blast there and can always trailer to lake kerr if we want .i have hooked up with both Martin(another ticket) and Bobby(moonshine)at the sandbar also the last time i was there two v drives were hanging out

[antioch01]

We definately need to talk, see ya there. we have RV spot 22 next to the cabins.

It looks very interesting, did not see too many bridges, how do you get over there from 19 ?

I guess 40 to 17 ?

Hey antioch,where do you hangout now?I've been to the thonontassa[sp]pond a few times.Usually just because its close and I want to get on the water.Mostly we go over to St.Johns though.We are planning the gig in June if we havent missed out on a cabin.

[antioch01]

We are close to Thonotasassa also and we go there alot, usually during the work days when it is not so crowded. The last few weeks it has been standing room only. We usually put in on the creek. I think all the cabins are gone for Lake Kerr. Always a chance for a cancelation though if you get on the list. If not come over for the day. We will be there Wed through Sunday. RV spot 22.
Hope to see you there,
