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?

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.
