Kentucky Lake Woes

So I have not posted since my disappointing finish at KY lake.  Some really good bags were caught just not by myself.  Following fish in transition has never been my strong suit but I did learn a great deal as this event was pretty much textbook for transitional bass.  In practice we had very consistent weather, light winds and high skies the only variable was the dropping water.  It seemed like they were dropping the lake every day of practice and to a foot below winter pool the last day of the event for me.  I would hook some good fish on a frog in mat on one day and come back the next day and the mat was gone either by way of 'laying' over or it was simply out of the water.  I just did not adjust well to the water levels.  The wind blew hard the first day of the event and this may have played a role on my confidence somewhat but that's on me.  Live and learn.  Guntersville is next and I cannot wait for that event.  I like the Tennessee river reservoirs and hopefully they don't mess with the water levels there too much.  This out of state experience is obviously what I need so badly and the more the better no matter how I finish.
