| The temperture at LOTW'S was 62 on the weekend. With a cold week ahead, the temp will be dropping rapidly, to I'm guessing, 52 by the weekend. My question is how does the turnover effect fishing for muskie. Will they still bite right at the few days following turnover, or is it best to let that weekend go by and wait untill the lake becomes stable at 45. What is everyones thought on this and how will the rapidly declining temps effect next weekends fishing? |

| Come on guys. This is a good question for this time of year. Does anyone have some insight on this.

| Everyone else is at Cass Lake!!![:(] I seem to remember hearing something about fishing from 3 days to a week afterward, but can't remember. Here around home we continue to fish though + try different depths in hopes of finding something...we look for baitfish + hope for the best![:0] |

| I can't believe the slow responses on this question. Everyone ones lake will be turning over soon so this effects all of us. Some feed back from the group on this subject would be great.

| I have to agree with Cory. This is valuable information, especially if someone were to be driving a great distance to fish, only to find the lake was turning over or just finished turning over. |

| I said it in the other post, the new issue of esox angler covers the topic thoroughly.

| Hey corey, we get 12 responses on what type arch supports to wear, but all we get is buy a magazine on a hot topic like turnover. Go figure, so im off to walmart to buy a nice pair of arch supports to fish in. Stinky nets to all and to all a good night.[8)] |

| Corey, I have nothing informative to say about turnover, except some of us need a new reason or excuse to tell why we got skunked...again. Last year there was tons of talk about it. [:bigsmile:]
keep it reel, tomcat[:bigsmile:] |

| Hello All, I haven't posted in a while because of the hours being spent on the water so I thought I'd throw my two cents in on a worth while topic before I leave to pick up my clients. Turn over is a funny thing that turns people off (no pun intended) Pre-turn over can be some of the best fishing of the season, the fish make their last big push to the shallows and become a little easier to catch making all baits in play. Turn over itself tends to scatter them from as shallow as 2ft to the deepest part of the eco-system which makes the what, when, and where a crap shoot. I have the luxury of having many lakes to choose from and all turn over does for me is to eliminate some lakes from my arsenal. Not all lakes turn over at the same time and not all lakes do a true turn over, only lakes or eco-systems that stratify do a true turn over, the others just get soupy. If your limited to a single body of water that's doing the flip I suggest that you cover as much water as posible from shallow to deep using slow moving baits that give off vibration and or sound, and this is the omly time I attatch a spinner blade to my live bait. Hope this helps. [:praise:] |

| First off take into consideration I'm one of those dumb trollers from Ohio.That said,Turnover for me is not an issue normally.What I've found on most of our waters here in Ohio that Stratify is a general push of fish out of the areas that do stratify(Areas of the lake that have depth deeper than the Thermocline).Which could be in affect saying the fish move shallower but thats not the case either.Example: My local lake stratifys at 15-18 feet nearly every year,we have a weedline at 8 feet.My greatest success in the fall during Turnover is fishing at the 10-14 foot depths of the lake in open water with my lures right at or near the bottom.I don't find fish(active)shallow during a turnover.And I don't find fish(active)in the deeper areas of lake either.There always some fish shallow in the weeds but I personally have a Tough time getting them to strike during Turnover.The baitfish seem to scatter during turnover also.
Alot of guys hear confuse turnover with algea dieing,turning the water different colors from cool fall nights.I feel true Turnover don't happen till the water temps are 53-60 degrees.Just my thoughts. Kevin Selders |
