Our Lakes Need to Turn Over!
 

Been a slow week of eye chasing on our Jersey lakes. Fished GWL last Thursday from 10Am till 7pm with one eye at 20" and a few smallies. Then fished the big pond today from 6Am till 6pm with 2 eyes to 18" and a pair of crappies to show for it. Thermos lingering around 35'-40'. We are almost at the turnover, can't come soon enough!

It's when the summer warm/higher O2 layer of water mixes with the deeper cold/low O2 water. The water become consistent throughout the entire column and the fun fish move to deep structure, and get really hungry.

First pic looks like you pulled that thing through the ice! Nice going bud!

I don't understand that picture. Why would there be a turnover in the spring when the water warms on top and the colder water is on the bottom?
Since the colder, more dense water is on the bottom, wouldn't the water just remain where it is and just slowly be heated from the top down from the sun?

Maybe they should have just left out the circle of arrows in that particular pic, but
i think its more or less just showing uniform temps throughout the water coloumn....The temps in the diagrams are the key while the arrows and thermo lines are for dummies like myself:D

So if we get particular about this corner pic it shows the water temps in spring shortly after ice out.....understandable??
Additionally it only shows real temperature variations in the summer and not so much in the other seasons.....Which we ALL know is not the case....There are lots of temp varietions throughout the yr., they are just more pronounced in summer...If they were to show the actually changes and turnovers there would need to be five to ten little pics with more than just circle arrows and thermo lines....Still wit me???

Gr8 diagram Scoward!!!! I think it shows the general rule of turnovers
