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?

It depends, like everything in this game called fishing, it depends.

Patterning is about where active fish are, not necessarily how you catch them.  For instance, fish are holding on main lake points.  P-I-P, the fish are on the upcurrent side of the points in 7-10 ft of water where there is chunk rock at that depth.  Pattern -  the fish are on docks.  P-I-P, they are on the outside margins of the docks in 2 ft or less of water where the grass line intersects the docks, and there needs to be deep water nearby.

I gave him an example of a pattern within a pattern in my first response. I don't see that it was being harsh at all. Don't consider any of the other responses out of line either. He now has examples of a pattern within a pattern.
