Lake Talquin Adventures

Guided trips on Lake Talquin, the reservoir west of Tallahassee, are fished from a pontoon rather than a bass boat, which is what makes a day workable for families, older anglers and children. Three products are sold. The catfish and bream fishing trip runs six hours for two people at $475. The kids fishing trip is a three-hour catfish and bream outing for two at $225. The catfish trip is a six-hour evening run from 6pm to midnight, again $475 for two, with each additional person at $50. All fishing gear and bait are supplied, and the guides bait hooks and take fish off the line for anglers who would rather not do it themselves, which is what makes the kids trip work as a first day on the water. The operation publishes a plain guarantee, repeated on more than one page: if you don’t catch fish, you don’t pay. The business’s address is on Williams Landing Road on the Tallahassee side of the lake.
