Strawberry Video, and Water temperature

[liketrolling]

I was not going to post. you guys may be getting tired of my Videos
but maybe I will give you something to think about
In the Video you will see two snapshots one on 10/ 14 and one on 10/21. I had the sensitivity turned up so I could see the change in water temp. so look at both snapshots and then look at the temp charts here.

30 .................56
35..................56
40..................56

On the 14th the water was colder on the bottom
On the 21th the water was warmer On the bottom
So I would say the water has turned over between the 14th and the 21.
catching fish was slow today I got 12 and lost 4 before I got them to the boat.
A tube jigg, protroll, and a yellow flatfish was working speed was close to 2mph. 20 and 27 ft down.
Wind between 13 and 17 mph most of the time some light rain and Cold
I was fishing alone.

Wouldn't the surface water have had to gotten colder than the strata below in order to begin the turn over process?

It is my understanding the the surface temps have to be about 40 degrees before the lake "Turns Over" and that it happens at different times and places around the reservoir. Any thought??

I just googled, lake turnover
this one he talks about 39 deg.

Recognizing Turnover
The surest way to determine if a lake is turning over is to check its temperature with an electric thermometer. When the turnover is in progress, the entire water column will be at the same temperature, give or take a degree or two. If you don't have a depth-reading electric thermometer, here are some other clues:


A sudden decrease in water clarity. Water circulation puts particles of silt and clay into suspension, so the water often looks "dirty" during turnover.

Clumps of decaying organic matter on the surface. The circulating action of the turnover causes material to break loose from the bottom. Sometimes you'll see large mats of brownish glop floating everywhere.

Baitfish distributed throughout the water column. Run a sensitive fish finder over deep water. When you see temperature-sensitive baitfish scattered at all depths it's a pretty sure bet that the turnover is under way.

Thanks for the report and the update on the water temperature. It looks like fall is finally showing up on the berry. How was the water clarity? Is there still a lot of algae or is it clearing out?
