    Sometimes just going into those back waters and just enjoying the birds, the peace and quiet, just nature is amazing. Just appreciating the little things we have in life. Being able to catch some fish is an added benefit. Great video!

    You needed Your Mother to come fishing this trip on the backwaters. She is so helpful & handy with the net. I enjoy seeing you two spending time making memories together. I have heard gar is good eating if fixed correctly.

    If you're interested in fishing for longnose gar, a great and easy way to catch em is with a rope lure. It's exactly as it sounds like, their little teeth get tangled up in the frayed rope and they can't get away. Fun to sight fish for em

    Old timers used to catch gar here with hookless baits.... just frayed nylon on a jig head. The alligator gsr get huge and are a bit scaty if you hang one in a small boat 🤣

    We've got a good gar population in our lake. Considering how "weird" they are, they're remarkably pretty fish with great color and spots toward the tail. I've also heard that if you're willing to put the work in to clean them, they actually are a really great tasting fish.

    Stephen love the videos. And a good laugh every now and again like the new flat bottom boat where it tossed you. I was actually at a power pole when you came out of the landing beside the tole bridge last week with the small boat and when I recognized it was you it was to late to try and stop you. Was actually watching if you had made another video in the new boat. Would love to stop and talk one day when I’m down that way again if I see you.

    @julieparham6674 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Speaking of alligator gars, many years ago I was fishing in Prien Lake which is in southwest Louisiana. I was at the end of a long wharf and using an offshore rig because that’s all that was there. On a cut piece of fish I caught an alligator gar. I managed to get it out of the water and it was longer than my height of 5’4”. The tail was still deep in the water when it jerked and got off the hook. Fun memory.

    years ago, my dad and i put in at hubbards landing on tensaw and ended up in a slew behind an abandoned house boat and it looked like someone threw hundreds of straight black sticks about the size of no.2 pencils in the water. Then we saw 2 big spotted gar and 3-4ft each when we realized all the sticks were baby gar. we pulled up the trolling motor and paddled back out so we didnt accidentally hurt any of them.

    HEY! You gotta do a catch n cook on gar sometime. They are superb table that size or less they literally have the texture of lobster. You have to use metal shears to get through the shell of skin and their eggs are super poisonous but that top loin is amazing. It has a nickname of poor man’s lobster. 🙏 Try this!!!

    • @JasonBeatenbo
      @JasonBeatenbo 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Also a “rope lure” is by far the best way to catch gar there are several videos on how to make them or I can make a video and show you. Or let me know and I’ll be there in 6hrs with a bag full of them. 😂

    • @JasonBeatenbo
      @JasonBeatenbo 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Look up any good recipe for lobster fettuccine and replace lobster with gar and you got it. There is also a somewhat “traditional” recipe called “gar balls” you can look up that is a Cajun thing. As for the rope lures you want to get the pure white rope from your hardware store that has the weave on the outside and a core of some other material on the inside and basically unweave the outside all the way to about a 1/2” head and then trim the core off, heat up a needle and stick it through the head to make a hole for your line to pass through and just rig it hookless. Their gnarly teethe get tangle in it. Make the bait about 4”-6” long and cast it right on their nose it’s about a 98% success rate with this. Use about a 20lb leader that you run through the head and connect it to light line probly braid for easier casting. Tight lines brother! And for real I can show you anything you need for this. I fish for everything that swims mostly fresh but I LOVE the salt when I can.
