Martens struggling

Aaron Martens has now moved four times in the search for his fifth fish. He moved back under the I-90 bridge toward the takeoff site just now. Martens has caught several dinks that went right back into the Black River.

It will be interesting to see how Martens adjusts. Both he and Chris Zaldain have mentioned how quickly these areas replenish, so it may just be a timing deal. It would be somewhat shocking to see Martens bail on the Black River. This is where he’s finished second, fifth and 30th in the three previous Elite Series events here.
