Day Two on Oneida

Michael Iaconelli started the morning as the Ramada Championship on Oneida Lake leader with 20 pounds, 3 ounces. 

Iaconelli changed baits early and often on Day Two. 

The same weed lines that held so many bass for Iaconelli on Day One failed to pay off early in the day. 

J. Todd Tucker started the morning in 3^rd place with 16 pounds, 6 ounces. 

Tucker was fishing in a crowd early in the day. 

Iaconelli moved to fish a bridge, hoping he would boat his first fish of the morning. 

Iaconelli made several pitches to the shallow cover around the bridge, but broke off the only fish that bit. 

Iaconelli continued without a fish late in the morning.
