Fished the edges of current, breaks, and weed edges with the xrap. Consistent action from 6:30am - 10:30am and then the bite slowed. Fished the same areas but turned to a slow finesse Mustad Apex and Roboworm to catch a few more that were not committing to a reaction bait. Best for the day was the bass in the photo at almost 22” and 5.5# and a friend got a 24” - 7.5# fishing a husky jerk doing the same
