| What are some of your tactics/methods for dealing with turnover on the lakes you fish frequently? What are the things you look for. ex. green weeds, schools of baitfish, bullrushes with deep water close by, etc. It sure seems like fish scatter and no real pattern develops for me during this time. I try to pick just a few spots I know hold fish year around and pound the snot out of them with big plastics and crankbaits until one commits. I must admit my results are spotty doing this. One day it'll pay off and the next I wish I had just tried to cover more water. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I fish rivers and reservoirs when the water here on the inland lakes is turning over. The Moen Chain, Moen Lake, for example, is very shallow and cools down REAL quick. Pretty much turnover proof.
If I want to fish a lake that's turning, I go to the sure areas like slop and steep rock edges where the perch live; if you find the food, you'll find some muskies. |

Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | The entire lake will not be turning over at the same time.
Fish the productive spots that are not turning over, and if you are going to fish the turn over areas, go shallow and do the Shallow Mag. Dawg Dance. Another great turn over bait is the Swimmin Joe cranked nice and slow.
Don't let turn over ruin or get you out of your game plan. Fish can and will be caught everday, just be patient and beat the spots to death. |
