Fairly new to bowfishing, almost finished with a 20’ pontoon rigged for it. My wife really wants to kill a big gator gar. Any advise on when and where would be appreciated. Thanks
Where are you located that will help on where 5o find some, with the weather warming up they have been rolling alot more won't be long and they will get into full swing
Despite what everyone says, some of the biggest alligator gar are out in the winter time. You don't have much competition in terms of boats, so if you're willing to bundle up I would go in the winter. The water is typically clearer too.
I guided bowfishing on the texas coast for 6 years and late august and early september the gar are on the south shorelines schooling up to return to the rivers. 4ft to 8ft. Best time to find them easy.
If it ever rains in the Frio River watershed, Choke Canyon has some monsters.
Have been around many 6’-7’ shot with a bow and countless 5’s.
