About Spawning/Transition spots

[Guest]

A little help on this please... I have fished for Bass for some time now and never really got into what really goes on in the mind of a Bass. I basically just fished bass in the summer off of structure and all the places that they hang out at, like in the shade, around docks, under weeds, lillypads and those sorts of things. Now that I'm fishing in Tournaments around the metro area here and fishing as an Amatuer in the Gander Mountain Bass Tour, I would really like for someone to explain how to locate/where to look for spawning beds, and then also explain these Transition spots that you all seem to talk about. What are the keys to locating these spots. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I pretty much can find the honey holes in the summer time, but when it comes to what you all are talking about these early season Transition spots is what I don't really understand right now. Is there a specific water temp that makes these fish go in to spawn? Seems as they you are all saying that once it hits 60degrees water temp on the spawning areas, that is when they will begin to move up and do their thing.
