LuckyWong they just added a post about this stating that they haven't changed a thing ...
I still can't believe that. Honeycomb nowadays gets me like 12-14 standards, few uncommons and rares and maybe one or two (if that) legendaries/epics. I get better fish with mushrooms or acorns even tho they're cheaper and worst baits. It wasn't like that before and it's just frustrating and boring now. I've got the best rod with the best attachments and the best bait, get I keep getting standards at every spot on the map.
