its 75 deg. here today, and im getting the itch to start shootin at gar again. i think you can only really get at them once the watter warms up and its just intinsely hot outside. am i right? or can you find them at night with a spot light and a boat when the water is cold?

They start spawning around mid-March in SC, so they'll probably be coming up sooner there.
-
Like Hillbilly said, they'll be spawning soon. If you catch it just right you can skewer them 2 and 3 at a time. >:D
-
They'll start coming to the surface when the water warms up.

Anyone ever back a bow with Gar skins? Also if someone catches a big one, I sure would like the head for my classroom. Oh, and what's the most effective manner to catch Gar?

Gar skins would be a bit thick and stiff to back a bow with-they pretty much resemble a sheet of tin. As for catching them, this way is the most fun, for sure:
