    Raporter or anyone else.......Turnover at Patoka

    Hey........someone posted a couple days ago that Patoka was already turning over.

    First.......is this true.......

    Second......what about other lakes........How about Hoosier Nat, Dogwood, Boggs, etc, etc.

    I'm thinking of going to Patoka this weekend, but really don't want to waste the time if it is already starting to turn..........

    Later,

    Geo

    Re: Raporter or anyone else.......Turnover at Patoka

    I fished Patoka this past weekend.....several people thought it was turning over. I have been told by someone at the DNR that Monroe already has also.....but not sure on that. I would wait to go to Patoka...it was TOUGH this weekend. Out of 150 teams in a tourney only 54 weighed in. Three limits, three fours, several threes, and many ones or nones! We had five keepers and about 13 lbs....but those were our only bites all day!!! Luckily my old man killed them from the back of the boat and my one just filled out the limit. Several bigger fish were caught....just not very many keepers. Water temps were in the low 70's...wait a couple weeks and things will be easier.....hopefully your next fishing adventure won't be as crazy as KY was for you recently!!!!

    Ya, I was skeptical also. This was my first trip there though so my personal opinion doesn't mean much I was just going by what others said at the USA BASSIN Regional.

    Can't help you Geo. Bow season is in and I am looking for a biggun. So far looking is all I am doing though. Good luck if you do get over here.

    Geo -
    Water is discolored like turnover – but possibly due to previous rains – does not smell – yet…

    Fishing is still tough - caught a few fish last weekend from 2 ft to 15 ft – graph showed fish deeper than that …

    If it is turnover – it’s the earliest on Patoka that I can remember!

    I fished Patoka on Sunday but not in the tournament. Yes it is turning over. I have a friend who lives close to the lake and fishes it frequently. He was there last Thursday and confirms what I thought, the lake is turning over.

    Re: Raporter or anyone else.......Turnover at Patoka

    Patoka has dropped almost 10 degrees in a little over a week. For the Hoosier Open friends said water was 74-75 this last Sunday it was 64-65. In my opinion it is turning over. Color is almost black and lots of debris floating up from the bottom that looks half decayed.

    Re: Raporter or anyone else.......Turnover at Patoka

    Patoka started turning over about two weeks ago. I read the USACE water quality reports religiously, and the graphs started showing uniform temperature and dissolved oxygen from the surface down to 25 feet. This is the first turnover I've ever had reason to notice, and it definitely seems like it put the fishing off. It is rather strange though...I've always heard that a true fall turnover happens at much lower water temps than this. I wasn't expecting it to happen at the end of September.

    P.S. First post...looks like a good site. I'm in Evansville, and it's great to see so many members here frm my neck of the woods.
