New PB tonight, went 15 fish landed and 17 hooked in 90 minutes in the Arlington/Roosevelt area, red Owner Ultrahead Inshore Swimbait hook paired with a 4in BioSpawn Exoswim Feider Shad absolutely obliterated them in the rocks tonight, didn't seem to matter too much whether I fished it fast or erratic or slow, it just flat got bit

Shad
Landed 8 of 10 on a Rebel Pop-R in Sexy Shad colors, plus 2 or 3 more on a swimbait in the evening, the misses were followed up by casts to the same areas and were rewarded virtually instantly with a blowup, so I probably caught both of my missed fish, the fish were not at all interested in a football head jig, or the buzzbait I offered them, seems that crippled shad is the preference today, seemed to be a pretty even split between the strikes being in the sun, shade, calm, and disturbed water conditions, pretty much if you were over the rocks at the first drop off from shore and popped your popper every few seconds in an erratic pattern you were getting bit.
