1. The links on Slabmasters aren’t working when I click on the current tourney results.
2. Have you been on both lakes recently as past few days and seen them or fished them for yourself?
3. Water temp for a turn over begins at 50 degrees and for deep lakes some don’t turn over till ideal surface temp is 39 degrees.
4. Yesterdays and todays air temp still in the 80’s. So it’s not cold enough yet for water to cool enough and sink and mix, thus creating a turnover.
5. Most of the time,,those gauges your reading are not accurate and kept in working order.

1 - I didn't say they were posted yet. I was indicating where they will be posted in the future. So members can see them when they go up.
2- Yes I have been on Cagle's Mill recently and fished it. The fishing has been slow for the last few weeks.
3- You are not correct. There is no magic temperature where the thermocline will break down. It's a matter of differences in temperature. Water density changes continuously with temperature. Cooler water sinks when its on top of warmer water. The surface waters have been cooling since the nighttime temps have been dropping for the last several weeks. When it sinks hard enough to penetrate the thermocline it will begin to break down.
4- The temperatures have been as low as the high 40's at night in the past several weeks.
5- I'm not going to debate someone that thinks their opinion is better than actual measurements. The data at the dam that I posted isn't actually stationary sensors. It is a portable meter profile taken weekly by a staff member. Also a faulty meter wouldn't magically show a strong thermocline present for the past several weeks and then magically show a turnover. Also why would all these lakes magically have faulty sensors showing a turnover at the same time? Much more likely they are actually turning over unless you want to argue that Cagle's and Harden's meters just magically failed simultaneously.
