First I want to apologize to Tim, don’t mean to steal your thread. But in answer to your question Ray back in late 60’s early 70’s I was stationed at the boat house on Corpus Christi bay in south Texas. The Nueces river ran into the bay. That river was covered in Aligator gar and I man monsters. 60-70 lb by the score. Well we had 2 that hung around the piers at the boat house almost year round. One close to 50 and one around 30 or so. We guessed they had come down the river and became acclimated to the salt water because where we sat was quite a distance across the bay from mouth of river. They just swam around close to the surface making the occasional lunch of mullet and pin fish. They were almost like pets in an aquarium. From what I could find out from other guys that had been stationed there awhile those fish had been residents for a long time.Quote:
