Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate the kind words. I have to really give credit to both of my boaters for how generous and easy going they were. They were both class acts.
Rich Metivier lent me 2 bags of Yamamoto's (and didn't have too) because somehow and I stress SOMEHOW I forgot my spider grubs (which seems impossible considering I throw them 40% of the time) but I did and he made me feel comfortable borrowing as many as I needed.
Kevin Miller was also a super nice guy. He reached into his rod locker and offered a second drop shot rod for me to use because I didn't bring mine. The reason I didn't bring mine was because of how good the spider bite was the day before and I thought about changing my strategy due to the cold front that was moving in that night. I really thought the large bite was going to pick up from day 1 so I wanted to be prepared.
The smallies started to lay off the grub bite and seemed to only want a drop shot. I find this to be the case when the bite is tough. I think they aren't usually directly on the bottom so when the bite is good, they will follow a grub to the bottom and eat. But when it's tough, they don't seem to want to go far for a meal so the drop shot was the play on day 2.
But again, I can't thank them enough for how they handled themselves. If every person treated each other like this in the STQT's, we would have a lot more participation. There's a real good chance that I wouldn't have made the team if they weren't BOTH so generous.
