It would probably be a better bite after turn over but there is no guarantee. Remember, the best weights ever recorded were on Oct. 23 before the turn over. Here is the story with all the dates http://www.timeonthewater.ca/2010_si...n_revised.html

This year was a bit of an anomaly because of some major changes going on in the lake including the prolonged mild fall. The lake is just busting with large shiners and small cisco added to the existing food web. I think this was just a cyclical issue that could be gone next year. There are few if any that have spent as much time on Simcoe from the end of Sept. to the end of Nov. fishing bass over the last 10 years and I have never seen it this tough. But the Thursday before the event the fish were on fire so I'm not sure it will make a huge difference. I guess we will know more as the lake turns over.
