Thanks. It's amazing how a fish that big would hit such a little lure like the Gizz 3. We didn't start out fishing with Gizz 3's, but after watching stripers boil, tail slap, throw water and just flat out go crazy all around us and not getting a bite on other lures, we decided to give the Gizz 3 a chance. The fishing looks good right now. I'm glad that the draw down hasn't hurt the fishing. It seems that something has changed though. I can't remember seeing so many small threadfins before. Maybe the stripers don't have a choice on forage now. Are Alwives still thick? If the forage base has changed to threadfins, maybe we will see jumps more often. If only they were gizzards.
