The pattern with in the pattern 2024


fishing user avatarbasslover12345 reply : 

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?

fishing user avatarBobP reply : 

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.

Can anyone identify the pattern within the pattern described below:

Fishing Log:

12/4/2010: The bass hit lightly in a few feet of water close to the bank,

Retrieve: I was retrieving the lure slowly in about 1 foot of water

Assuming the fish (singular) in the "bite" section is the same fish (singular) as in the "retrieve" section, you list 2 different depths of water for the same fish.

My purpose of doing this was so that I could reference it, but also seeing the baitfish flickering on top of the water column clued me in that I was throwing the right bait and that the top of the water was the warmest part at the time I was out on the water because close to where I got bit, there were small baitfish flicking on top the water which would make sense for a bass to be close to them under the possibly waiting for one of the baitfish to struggle and for the bass to eat that one struggling baitfish, this would make sense to me because the one bite I did get was in the middle of the water column and the the baitfish were right on top of the bass. I think the reason for the baitfish being active was of the warmer water temperatures in the deeper part of the pond, I usually see the baitfish shallow, but the shallowest parts of the pond were iced over so the baitfish were stacking up close to the shore in the deeper water and the bass were there waiting for them. But I think the biggest reason of me getting this bite is that I was where the baitfish were active....... I also think the space monkey was a good lure to throw because bass like moving baits on cloudy days and the space monkey has several moving apendages
