Never done it at Talquin; but I know big bucktails are a favorite for striper. Also have thrown topwater if you can finding them busting the shad on top.

Go to the back of the larger creeks on the west end of the lake. Throw a bucktail or stingray grub, and a chrome and black crank bait. Fish near the channels.
What was I supposed to do today?

Although I have never caught any, I've heard that Ocklawaha is a good area as well as near the dam. I have never really fished for them. I would like to get into some. I have also heard that bucktails are a good lure and of course, shiners.
