Fished Cedar for a few hours today. arrived late morning 10-30 or so and left by 1. started shallow with a spinnerbait and a shallow crank. went out deeper to 8-12fow with nothing on a deeper crank and tx rigged creature. by nothing i do mean bass, i did pick up a few pickeral. . fished the permiter from the west shore back around to the east shore fishing the points and flats . grabbed one 1lber by the beach on a shallow crank. water temps were 59-61 and windy as hell at times. im thinking this place may be starting to turn, what do you think Mark?

Wow Stumpy,

Rough day on the water. I'm making plans to head out this coming Monday.

I gotta catch some fish, I am going crazy..

A good wind is usually the catalyst for starrting the turnover because it bunches the warmer surface water up on one shore while pulling the deeperwater up on the opposite shore. So it may be possible I guess,..but it still seems awfully warm for a turnover to me!

What happened to fishing 12-16'?

I'm curious as to what the temperature in CT would need to be around for a lake to start turning with the given conditions. I would think that if you look this up and they are talking about a lake down South where the average surface temperature is about 90 and the temps below the thermocline are in the high 70's, turnover would happen at a much different temperature than say Maine where the average surface temps would be around 75 and below the thermocline temps would be below 60. (I don't have any clue if the averages above are accurate, just examples.)

I just use turnover as a good exscuse as to why I cant catch fish.
