| Dirt Road Del and the junior dirts |
I've run out of superlatives to use for the pride of Tipsico Lake Rd, the dirt road side. Yesterday morning, under incredibly optimal conditions on Pettibone Lake, brothers Dave and Jim again tore up the tour. This time in tandem on the Red Rocket (Jim's boat). It goes to show that the biggest and baddest boat is not always so when it's all said and done (not that there is anything wrong with Jim's boat; it's just a little more primitive). Get a big boat for show, catch a lot of fish for dough; I'll take the latter. Doke took big fish by a hair over yours truly. So close.
What can you say about Pettibone Lake? Well, there is the north side and the south side that run a couple hundred yards or so and that is about it. To accentuate the positives though, it is part of Highland Recreation Area, is surrounded by some gargantuan trees and has no water skiers/jet skis/speed boats. It has the vegetation to produce large bass but that vegetation (i.e. seaweed) can be a bugger sometimes; although there were a good number of fish caught so only a minor whimper there. We caught fish, had ideal weather, again, we we fishing so a great day it was. It's good to be, as Steve Miller says, living in the U.S.A. Happy Independence Day to all.
