Garfish.

[Ray]

I never kilt my garfish till I got home.
Leave them alive and the meat last longer in the sun.
Just leave them in the bottom of the boat and throw a
wet grass sack over them. They stay live till you get
home.

We have some 150qt ice chests to put them in. We tried leaving them in the boat somewhere, but the bastids with reek havoc in ya boat when they decide to start flopping around. One like I had about 5 foot long can spread crap around in ya boat in seconds. They always seen to want to start flopping when you leave ya tacklebox unsnapped or open. So now, mine get kilt while they still in the water.

really? ****! My dad always told me they taste awful. I may have to give this a try next time I hang into one. I always just hit them on the head to stun them and let'em go.

are there any good places around New Iberia to do some bank fishing for garfish?

[Garfish]

Good fight and good food there.

[Creole Fisherman]

Are there any locations that anyone can recommend where you can fish from the bank for alligator gar? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
