Lowen with No. 4

Bill Lowen has added his fourth keeper but it wasn’t much when you consider the average fish weighed in by this field was 3-plus pounds yesterday.

He has two in the box that do not come close to that. But he has two that are 4-pounds or better. Not sure if today is slower than yesterday. But we get the feeling that it is.

He’s staying shallow and covering more water now than earlier. But the bites seem to have tapered off. Some of that taper might be because Matt Herren has left and we aren’t getting as many chances to see fish get hooked. But it’s more likely that this first area is either running out of fish are they are getting wise to the situation.

Either way we are sticking for a while to see how it plays out.
