MUSKOGEE, Okla. — An early morning delay on the Bassmaster Central Open tournament on the Arkansas River forced Dale Hightower to scrap his initial game plan, but the Bassmaster Elite Series pro regrouped and put together a productive Plan B that helped him take over the Day 2 lead. Adding 13 pounds, 1 ounce to his Day 1 weight of 15-0 gave the Oklahoma pro a two-day total of 28-1.
“I went down to the lower pool (Kerr Lake) yesterday, but I didn’t go down there today,” Hightower said. “I got down there and there was a barge in the lock and they were turning everybody around; it didn’t look like anybody was going to get to lock.
“I just said to myself ‘It’s out for me,’ because I had an early flight and I only had about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to fish to begin with. I just got it out of my head and just went fishing up here. I’m lucky to have what I had.”
Hightower caught his fish flipping. He did the same yesterday, but today’s bites required him to replace the creature bait he used on Day 1 in Kerr with more of a finesse flipping bait.
“I just think it was the pressure on the fish,” he said. “With [a lot of] people flipping and pitching and casting at them, there’s a lot of pressure on them.”
Noting that he targeted wood cover, Hightower said he was poking back into the treacherously shallow areas for which his aluminum boat is made.
“My Xpress boat always plays a role for me,” Hightower said. “I fish shallow and that’s just how I do it. That boat gets me there, gets me over stumps and logs and stuff that I couldn’t do [in a fiberglass boat], so it has definitely played a role this week.
“I know there’s a grass bite, but after coming back from the Elite Series event on Lake Eufaula last week, I didn’t have time to find it. So, I just did what I always do here. I live about an hour and 15 minutes away, so I’m used to fishing this place and I always fish wood.”
Hightower confined himself to one stretch of bank about a quarter-mile long. Making methodical passes up and down the area enabled him to pick off a fish or two each time.
“I kinda had some sweet spots, but it was just back and forth,” he said. “Around 10:30 or 11 o’clock I had some flurries. I didn’t have a fish for a long time this morning; it took me until 10 o’clock to get my first one, but when we got rolling, we kept going.
“I think I just settled down and fished. I realized what was dealt to me and I was pretty upset about this morning. But you can get upset or make lemonade out of lemons, and that’s what we did today.”
John Garrett of Union City, Tenn., is in second place with 26-12. After sharing fourth place with Hightower on Day 1, Garrett said his day took on a different complexion.
“Me and my good friend Cody Huff had a whole area to ourselves yesterday and the fish were easy to catch; today, we had a lot of boat pressure,” Garrett said. “The water came up and spread the fish up a good bit. I struggled all day. I caught my fifth keeper at 1:30.”
Garrett caught his bass by flipping a Strike King Rage Bug and cranking a Strike King 1.5 squarebill. Focusing on shallow wood, he found an early morning bite that produced a pair of 3-pounders in his first three flips, then faced a three-hour drought before adding two more on the squarebill and ended with his late-day limit maker. Huff trails Garrett by 8 ounces with a third-place total of 26-4. Hailing from Ava, Mo., the 2019 Bassmaster College Series bracket champion stayed in local waters and concentrated on shallow hard cover targets where he found a mix of fry guarders and others settled into summer patterns.
“I practiced in Kerr for six days and came up here in the last half of my final practice day and I was getting more bites than I did in Kerr,” Huff said. “With the lock situation, only being able to fish for a couple of hours down there, I knew I wasn’t on them good enough to catch them in two hours.
“I liked the idea of being able to stay up here, grind and actually be able to fish for two hours. I caught them flipping and on a ChatterBait, spinnerbait and squarebill. I’m just junk fishing; catching them on whatever I come to.”
Scott Pellegrin of Chippewa Falls, Wisc., is in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with his 5-13 largemouth. Albert Hudson of Austin, Texas, leads the co-angler division with 13-4. Fishing in the upper pool, he caught his fish by pitching shallow wood cover with a 5-inch watermelon red YUM Dinger rigged on a 5/0 hook with a 1/16-ounce bullet weight.
“For two days, I’ve been fishing behind pros that were throwing jigs and this rig falls a little slower than their bait,” Hudson said of his strategy. “They don’t leave you much, so you just try to find something they don’t see. It’s a lot of pitching and not a lot of catching."
Dakota Sparks of Denham Springs, La., holds the Phoenix Boats Big Bass lead among co-anglers with a 4-8.
Saturday’s takeoff is scheduled for 6 a.m. CT at Three Forks Harbor. The weigh-in will be held back at the harbor at 2 p.m. Only the Top 12 remaining anglers in each division will compete.
