Default fighting through a slump!!!

well my second club tourney of the year was just as bad as my first. we had 70* days up until tourney day and the high was 46* and that was at the launch, it dropped all day and was at 37* at the weigh in. arkansas seen a lot of rain that came down kings river turning table rock into a mud pit! usually 10-15 feet visability is common on table rock and we had 2 inch visability on tourney day. considering the cold front, muddy water (which these fish are not used to at all), and 40 mph winds out of the north it was just a miserable day. i ran about 20 miles to find clear water ( i knew the cold front would still be a factor but atleast we wouldn't have to deal with the sudden drastic change in water clarity) my non boater boated a 4.5 lber. on my first spot and that was our only fish. i did have a few bites on a jig but because of the wind i didn't detect the bites soon enough. by the end of the day we ran up the river and fished the muddy water as well (knowing the muddy water was warmer but still affraid it had the fish freaked out). basically i am in a slump and need to work out of it soon or i am gonna be out of the points race before i know it. i used to play a ton of baseball (highschool and high competition, even made the first cut for the atlanta braves) and in baseball bunting can be a great way of working through a slump. so i figure finesse fishing is like bunting in bass fishing. i am gonna just start finesse fishing my butt off until i get in a groove and gain some confidence in my ability to get bit. just wondering how everyone else fights through a slump?
