Very nice. I just booked a red snapper trip for next Sunday. Hope the weather cooperates.

He was still unhappy when we got him in the boat. The gar are everywhere in the rivers here and now the Asian carp have gotten a foothold so bow fishing has gotten pretty popular in these parts. There's about as many bowfish tournaments now as there are bass ones. They will go out and shoot 30+ carp on an average night.

They're pretty feisty, Rod. I've caught a few while bass fishing on rattletraps but they'll usually break off after a good but brief fight. Even bow fishing they will fight pretty hard after the arrow goes thru them. He probably has some good sized cousins up there where you are.

Yeah, we had those in the rivers in Kansas (when I was younger). Horribly annoying to deal with when you're fishing for anything else.

Got a fav lure or jig? yeah, not any more -- the resident gar will snatch it and snap your line with a couple of shakes. done and gone.

I am not into fishing big time. But I did look up on the internet and yes we have Gar in Lake Ontario.
Next time I am at my local outdoors store, I will ask them about the fish.
