Where is a good place to catch bowfins in tx (preferably near houston area). I would really love to catch some and drop it in my pond.

While we are at it, where can i also catch a TX gar? :D


thanks in advance
 
dont know about texas but come up to pa and u can catch em all day long.
 
I would love to do that but PA is waay too far for me.
 
I'd say any river, lake or pond around you..

Thats the thing, i would love to find the "prime locations" :D
 
what is a Texas gar?
 
Alligator gar. Because i didnt want anyone to think i am referring to the florida.
 
yea, im in houston too. ive never caught any bowfin around here.. prolly the only luck would be to order one.

hey masta flan.. what fish stores do you visit here in houston?

I go everywhere, mostly NW houston or SW houston. Hey if you want we can go to anhuac texas (near trinity) and catch us some bowfin! I heard they have alot of fish there and i want to try my luck.

I live off bear creek park btw.
 
take a trip down here to south louisiana. you can catch bow fin a gator gars on side the road all day.
