When does the Cumberland Jumps begin

[buddy]

I launch at Lily creek and did not get out to the main lake until 8:00 because of the fog. I saw the "jumps" one time on the opposite side of the lake across from the state lodge (Lure Lodge). We caught 2 small stripers about 40-50'. A fisherman I talked with this morning mentioned that the lake was "turning over" and the stripers were deep 60-70' with little top water "jumps" activity.

Have not been down since spring. Last I saw the surface temps were 72 or so. No way that the lake is turning. Typically does that around tgiving. As for when they start, usually the first weekend that I cannot possibly get down there and ending around the time I can get there :+ In past years, around the 3 rd week of Oct through early Nov, though its not always consistant.

Hey it's about time you got back. Andrew normally I would agree about lake turnover down there in Mid to even late November. Also I'm for sure no expert on lake turn over either, but I honestly think parts of the lake are turning over down there right now. They are also pulling the bottom off of that rascal too. Sometimes to the tune of 4 to 5 inches a day. I could be wrong as I am a lot, just ask my wife, but I honestly think it's turning in spots, talked to some others down there that thought so as well including one striper guide. Take care maybe we need to hit the creek, see ya Mark. :)
