Is it windier than it used to be ? I remember in dog days of summer the wind would not be a problem most of the time . Yesterday the wind was awful and fishing was super tough . Kept a mixed bag and released several . Caught a big Gar , several Channel Cats and Bass along with the Crappie . Few big Crappiue but biggest almost 16'' . Tough to livescope in the wind out in the open for sure . Same Huckabee rods and same tube jigs . Have a big pile of fillets to share with neighbors even if some were not Crappie .

Yes sir the wind was tough Sunday. Fought it for a few hours but the wind usually wins the day. Gave up and quit with 20 keepers.

how does gar taste?
Retired golf addict
Did not bring that one in but they are not bad . I clean one ever once in awhile . Just take backstrps (fillets ) and fry strips like any other fish . Gar can be fun to catch . You can put a bait on their nose with livescope . Thinking of making some of the Gar lures some people make . A big one will pull hard and sonmetimes even jump .
I took a bag of fish ,Crappie and Bass to a neighbor , one to fire station across the road and fried the Catfish for our lunch today. I like to change up alot . I love Buffalo ribs from time to time too . Only fish I will never eat again is Grinnel .
I’ll try most anything once but I draw the line at grinnel gar and buffalo. Back in the day (up to about 1995) there was a place in pine bluff called Cooks fish market- junior cook I believe was the guy’s name. They sold rough fish like crazy and had a bunch of pet deer in the back and thus it was a must stop kind of place.
in south Texas "garballs " used to be popular , a fish cake looking thing made out of gar and then deep fried ,heard tell they were really tasty .

I do like Nimrod does when it comes to gar. I use tin snips to make a cut along the back so I can remove the two backstraps similar to a deer. Cut up into bite size pieces and fry along with the rest of the fish. A good tip is if you keep a gar from hot muddy water expect it to taste like hot muddy water. Catch one out of a clear cold body of water and it is way better in my opinion.
