Transition already

So it seems that the bass have begun their transition on the Hick already.  With this recent change in weather pattern Ive taken fewer and fewer fish from their typical summer haunts and it seems like they just got there.  I fished my last local event for the year last Sunday and only had two fish for maybe 4 or 4.5 lbs.  Got in line to weigh in and saw a couple of 5 fish limits and just walked to the release boat only to find out later that 4 lbs would have placed me in the top ten so I guess others are struggling as well.  This is the time of year when I really struggle, following fish in transition just isn't my forte but it IS an area where I recognize one of my weaknesses and look forward to the learning process.  

I practiced a few days on Kentucky Lake last week for the second central open and had mixed results.  I don't have a ton of experience on that lake but received some advice from some who do and put it to use.  Catching fish was NOT the issue it was catching the right fish.  My best five for the three days went something like 11 lbs to 13 lbs and I know from the results of the BASS weekend series event there a couple of weeks ago it will take 15/day min to do well.  

The recent weather changes are effecting the fish there as well as here and that is just another hurdle for me to deal with but everyone else as well.  Again I look forward to the challenge and can't wait to get on the water for official practice.  AS SOON AS I GET MY BOAT BACK FROM THE FU*@#NG REPAIR SHOP.
