Does anyone know of any alewifes of large size being harvested, at Dale Hollow?

my neighbor pulled bait last night an said one pull he got enough for 4 trips, we get a mixture of shad but lately the elwies (sp) have been used over at cumberland for strippers there that big, we had a (warm rainy night) that was within the first hour of darkness

Thanks Rick, Sorry for not replying sooner! I have been checking off and on with a guide friend of mine he says that the pulls have been terrible(for size ) . . apparently he is giving up until spring! I really have the hankering to go down to Dale, but he was my only source . . I fish from the boat 'tied to the bank' and shiners . . . do not work well for that application . . but then again, I'm sure you know this.
I will check back sooner for your reply. Thanks, Oldlures
