MARBURY, Md. – He couldn’t find the quality, but picking through the quantity enabled Gregory Wilder, of Brooklyn Park, Md. to take over the day-two lead in the Rayovac FLW Series Northern Division event on the Potomac River.Wilder moved up from second place on day one by adding a day-two limit of 15 pounds, 3 ounces to his opening weight of 17-4 and moved to the top with a total of 32-7.“I did the same thing I did (on day one) and ran the same routes,” said Wilder. “I didn’t get the big bites I had yesterday, but I caught a good amount of fish so it was a pretty good day.”

Essential to his success, Wilder said, was having viable spots for high and low water. Today’s tide schedule saw about two hours of outgoing water at the tournament site on Mattawoman Creek, with incoming water most of the morning and early afternoon. Depending on where they fished, anglers caught a piece of the afternoon’s incoming cycle before time expired.
