Bassmaster Top 150- Day 2
"Charles
County, Md. -- August 24, 2000 -- Whatever they've got in the waters of Texas, it has certainly been conducive to top scores at the
$431, 450 BASSMASTER Maryland Top 150 on the Potomac.
Just one day after Mark Pack of Mineola, Texas stepped atop the leader board, Clark Wendlandt, a fellow Texan from Cedar Park, backed up a
first
day limit of 14 pounds, one ounce with a stunning 17-3 effort for a
31-4, two-day total.
"I was just fortunate today, I don't have any aspirations of
catching another string like that one. I think I have a chance to do decent, but
that was something extraordinary."
Leapfrogging from eighth place, Wendlandt wasn't focusing on any
particular
tide, opting instead to play a game of stick-and-move.
"I don't think the baits are the keys, I just have places where I
think
fish are at," remarked the 34-year-old pro, who didn't mind
mentioning that
his limit came on Gambler four-inch Bacon Rind plastics and a small
Rapala
Fat Rap.
"I'm fishing some of these places two or three times a day and I'm
just
rotating between them. The way the tide moves the fish here, if you
don't
catch them on one pass, you may get one the next time."
Although yesterday's leader, Mark Pack responded with a credible
11-pound,
12-ounce limit, he dropped to fifth place as several others surged past.
Most notably - and perhaps ominously - was none other than Michigan's
Kevin VanDam, a former winner of this event in August of 1997.
"This river has always been good to me," said VanDam in his
usual
understated manner after logging in 13-pounds, seven ounces for a 28-2
tally - good enough for second place and good enough to give his
competition the cold sweats.
A BASS Masters Classic(r) qualifier every year since his appearance on
the
tour in 1990 and a three-time B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year (1992, 1996,
1999) VanDam is known for his strong finishing rounds.
"My goal is just to be in shooting distance of that final-ten day.
With
only nine other guys out there, I know a lot of places to catch one. At
that point, I'll totally change my strategy," said VanDam in
reference to
the final cut on Saturday when the 154-man field is trimmed to just ten.
Up to this point, VanDam has been scratching and clawing for bites, much
like Wendlandt. With two of the best areas far apart, VanDam has been
fairly successful in timing his moves to be in the right place at the
right
time. Although he probably would prefer a low tide, it hasn't always
been
in the cards.
Perhaps the most hard-fought clash on this second day was for third
place,
where two veterans - Carl Maxfield of Summerville, South Carolina and
Paul
Elias of Pachuta, Mississippi - produced two outstanding catches to move
themselves past a large part of the field.
Tied at 28 pounds apiece, Maxfield did it on the strength of a 15-10
limit
which pulled him up from 22nd while Elias came from off the page with
the
best catch of the day, a five-fish creel weighing 17 pounds, 11 ounces.
Despite his incredible effort, Elias was a little mystified by the
Potomac
bass who responded to a trio of crankbaits fished in 12 feet of water.
"They're really acting funny. But, when they start biting you can
catch
them all real quick. I caught four good ones in just 20 minutes."
The four day event continues on Friday with the weigh-in beginning at 3
p.m. Friday will witness the crowning of the amateur champion. The event
will conclude on Saturday afternoon. Prior to the final weigh-in the
CastingKids competition presented by Zebco will be held from 10 a.m.
until
1:30 p.m. All events take place at Smallwood State Park."
