Bill Lowen saw a bass running shad on the bank, tossed a Fluke to it and broke off. Then he noticed a 3-pounder on a bed right next to the boat.
He worked the bed for about 15 minutes until the bass started “acting funny” and the pro moved on. “It didn’t help that I got right up on it,” he said. “It was a good one.”
He now has three small bass in the livewell, but he said he would probably have a limit if the wind would blow as it has the last two days. “I need (the wind) to make them commit,” Lowen said. “You don’t know how many fish have come up behind my bait. A lot.”
