Turnover is widely misunderstood. Lakes don’t really turn over. When the surface temperature gets down to around 55 th e thermocline starts to disappear. This eliminates the barrier between the upper and lower water layers and allows them to mix. That doesn’t mean that that the water the water at the bottom will suddenly displace that at the top but wind will mix it all up.
The best two days of Bass fishing I ever had was right about now with water temperatures at 55 degrees. There is almost never an effect with a single cause.
