Try this post again as other didnt work. Well I got to sneak off to my old stomping grounds for a little redfish action this weekend. The weather was rough with thunder showers most of the time. Did manage a nice bowfishing trip Friday night and shot some nice reds, gator gar, and sheep heads. My biggest gator far was 80lbs. Was a lot of fun and brought back 100lbs of shrimp for a ridiculous $2.00 a pound.

This was our night rig. I sure miss my old stomping grounds but haven't lost the touch of catching them salty fish lol.
Man , nothing better than fresh shrimp. Those gar ain't bad eating . Looks like a fun trip.
What are you making reparations for? You must be guilty of something you ain't told us about :RoflQuote:

Impossible to convince some folks but big Alligator Gar are good eating. Course, Possums will eat anything.
Good size Longnose Gar are good too! Fillet those dudes out and fry up chunks or pressure for fish cakes. Just never eat Gar eggs as they are supoose to be poisionous.Quote:

About a month ago I was down in Gulf Shores Alabama. Me and a local guy were fishing on a boat slip in what they call Little Lagoon. It was about 1 a.m. and we had flood lights on so we could attract speckled trout. I was sitting in my chair when I seen something swimming in front of the slip. I turned my head lamp on and to my amazment it was a spotted gar about 3 feet long. I told my buddy that there was a dang gar in front of me. He said there are no gar around here. I said well there is now!!!! I asked him if there were any fresh water rivers feeding the lagoon and he told me no. I looked on google maps and confirmed it. What a gar is doing in salt water I have no idea but seeing the picture of a alligator gar along with redfish kinda getting me to thinking it is not as rare as I thought.
Arkansasbowhunter, If you dont mind me asking what were you catching those reds on. I went down to Gulf Shores at the end of June and caught a bunch on sand fleas that I caught in the surf. Went back down there again around the end of July and didnt have the luck like I did before. Caught a few on live shrimp. But I did catch the biggest speckled trout I ever caught. It was 24" long. What a fight it put on. I guess what I am asking is if you were using artifical lure and what type. The guys at Mo's Bait Shop in Orange Beach are really big into Gulp baits. They tell me thats what they use alot.
I hear Ol' Glenn is looking for a new partner. You're gonna have to grow a better beard (and loose the shoes) first. Them some awesome fish, I'd love to tackle one someday. Don't know that I've even seen an alligator gar.
There are a few in the Arkansas River. Back years ago the White River was suppose to be the place to catch them. Getting rare in Arkansas.Quote:

A guy up here was dragging cypress trees out of the river and sawing them up for lumber. He drug one up to his sawmill and put it on the saw, but realized it was hollow and had one of those big alligator gar stuck inside of it. He went ahead and ran it through the saw and ended up with 2 fillets 12 feet long.
If I can get some money I will work with glen and grow a beard longer.
We caught our Reds on black and chart cocaho with1/4 red head and popping cork with white doa shrimp adjust to water depth. We Fished out of dulack.
Catahoula06,
Same for me. Fishing was alot better in June than July surf fishing in Perdido Key. Mo's folks are good about telling you what is biting and on what. My son and I were killing them in June. July slowed down quite a bit.
