Well, it has been slower than recent years, but fish are being caught. The water betwee upper and middle bass has some nice fish in it. You may have to adjust your patterns though. We ran quite a bit of meat with little luck. Once we moved over to reef runners (whites, and browns/Copperhead) with 2 oz snapweights 5 feet in front, about 50 to 70 behind the board. You may have to adjust to find the bottom, but you should be about 1 off. Those high column fish seem like they are just confused; drunk on mud or something.
