Thanks, I'll give the light a try.

Is it just me, or is everyone having trouble harvesting gizzards on Lake Cumberland? Do you think the large volume of alewives in the lake causing the problem? I can go to other lakes, like Cherokee for instance, that are chocked full of both stripes and hybrids alike, and the gizzards are easily obtainable.

Additionally, for those knowledgeable of Dale Hollow Lake, are the gizzards plentiful down there?
