basslover12345 Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 Can anyone identify the pattern within the pattern described below: Fishing Log: 12/4/2010: Got one bite on a Black and blue Rage tail space monkey rigged on a drop shot rig with a 1/8 ounce drop shot weight and 17 pound monofilament with a 5/0 hook, The bait was soaked in Carolina Lunker sauce Threadfin shad Gel, The bass hit lightly in a few feet of water close to the bank, the water was pretty stained and there were baitfish flipping around by where I got bit. The air temp was 36 degrees with overcast blue skies. Retrieve: I was casting out into deeper water and bringing the lure in towards the bank when I got a strike. The fish interrupted the retrieval of the lure and all of the sudden there was weight on the end of my line, I was retrieving the lure slowly in about 1 foot of water Name of body of water: Olney Mill pond Time of day: Afternoon Cover being fished: None, but around dead grass Food Source: small Minnows/baitfish Season: Winter/late fall Quote

bigredxlt Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 huh? You havent described a pattern just an instance in which you got one bite...which from what it sounds like that might not have even been a bite at all. So without more information there is no pattern. Quote

bassinbob54 Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 You need to catch 2 or 3 fish before you have a pattern, not just a bite....good fishing Quote

Super User fishfordollars Posted December 27, 2010 Super User Posted December 27, 2010 Well, let's see, one fish was willing to chase. Now if you had put on a moving lure and caught a few more you might have been on to something. as it was though, you only described one fish eating a moving lure. No pattern here, yet. If, however, you had caught a few more on a moving lure and you went to a couple of other ponds and reproduced the same, you might have developed a pattern. If you had had an auto accident during each move to the other ponds then you would have developed a pattern within a pattern. Quote

Super User Raul Posted December 27, 2010 Super User Posted December 27, 2010 Why were you using 17 pound mono on a drop shot? Ever heard of heavy drop shot ? D-shotting or hook above sinker as we old farts know the rig looooong before somebody invented the fancy name is simply put, a riging method, that means you can use any line test you want, any hook style you want ( even though some hook designs do a better job depending upon the situation ), any bait style & size you want and any reel and rod action you want.

Don't you usually use a heavy weight for a heavy dropshot? Quote
