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

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.

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.

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?
