As is always the case, the conditions on day two turned out to be different than on
day one. Less wind and fewer clouds would require anglers to adjust in order to be
successful.

On day two the boaters took off in reverse order. With the
heat, getting an early start is a bonus for all anglers.
The day proved to be even tougher for the co-anglers than
day one. Only three anglers were able to bring in their
limits. This brought about a big shuffle in the standings
with for places 3-5. Vannetta Groeteke brought in another
solid bag bringing her two day total to 11.94 lbs and
qualifying her for the Lady Bass Classic. Diana Uebelhack
was able to hold on to her second place standing with a
final weight of 10.13 lbs. Lynette Doyle was able to jump
from 10th to third with a solid bag and a final weight of
8.90 lbs. Glyn Ellen Valentine was able to move up two
places from 6th to 4th with a final weight of 8.68 lbs.
The final spot in the top five was Cindy Adler-Jackson of
Harrison, Arkansas holding on to fifth place with a final
weight of 8.26 lbs.

In the Pro Division, there was also a shuffle in the top
five. With her commanding lead on day one, Pam Martin-
Wells was able to hold on to first place with a final
weight of 26.44 lbs. Teri Cindric was able to just
outlast a charge from Texas angler Cheryl Bowden to
hold onto second place with a final weight of 18.68
lbs. Bowden’s final weight was 18.61 lbs as she jumped
from 4th to 3rd with her 10.07 day two bag. This jump
dropped Angie Scott into 4th place with a final weight
of 11.34 lbs. Robbie Hartline of Hot Springs, Arkansas
moved up one spot into 5th place with her two day
total of 10.66 lbs.

Bluffs with wood near channel swings was key for Robbie
Hartline’s bite. For pro Teri Cindric it was a tail
of two distinctly different patterns. Her day one was
a top water bite all day even in the heat. Cindric’s
day two was a grind with her last keeper in the boat
around 1:30 PM.

For Bowden, it was also a story of making adjustments. Almost identical baits on each
day but at different depths in the same areas. The biggest key was focusing on the big
topped trees in deeper water near channel swings along points.

For the winner, Pam Martin-Wells it was also a tail of two very different days. On day
one all but one fish came on a worm. On day two, her primary area did not hold fish. Her
bite also changed with all of her fish caught on top water and culling two using the
worm.

With similar stories for the top three finishers, it shows that each was able to adapt
to the changing conditions in order to be successful.
