The numbers are still well short of what they were about 4 years ago. Then, it was nothing to go out for 1/2 day and catch 75-100 fish on artificials. Now, to catch more than 15 fish a day, you nearly have to use live bait. That being said, it is still your best option for a Jan-Feb day or night of bass fishing. But it is still far from the bass factory it used to be. I hope in a couple more years it will be better than it is right now.
