On my way to Yakima to see yet another doctor, I met up with Joe A.K.A fishinChristian to the walaker brotherhood. I pulled up to find him slaying the panfish as usual. He told me that as the storm front passed over, the bluegills were on a tear and taking his micro 1/64th oz jigs tipped with a piece of worm with gusto! We sat on the dock, casted jigs and bobbers and caught fish- both crappie, and bluegill for about an hour before I had to be on my way to long neglected appointment. Joe really made my day because he had a "Jiggy care box" with all sorts of goodies for me on account of my 44th birthday is Sunday. That sneaky little bugger even went up and put several gallons of fuel in my truck with one of his spare gas cans when I wasn't looking! Thank you Joe, from the bottom of my heart for your friendship and gracious generosity. You made my day and my week and made turning 44 something for me to look forward too! Jiggy
