I think it means you can’t bowfish at night for gar over 48”.

I've never fished Falcon, but know folks who have and it has some bigguns in it! So does Choke Canyon... That may be closer for you... so does Amistad, but not sure about regs on Amistad... I'd think they were similar or same as Falcon, but can't say for sure... When we had our deer lease out there just south of the dam, I always wanted to go bowfish it... I've seen some monster gar and carp come out of it from locals there in Del Rio... I've also shot some monster carp in the river below the dam...

Could be they backed off the one in 24 hours thing, but it was that way for a while... I'd recommend if you want to get a big gar, get it soon as CCA and the commission lifers would really like to ban bowfishing for gator gar... If you go back and read the minutes from Commission meetings from a few years ago, it got real close to passing...

I always liked August, but if you're after a big one, earlier is better so you can get a big one before she spawns out... A 7 footer will lose 25-30 pounds during the spawn if you're interested in weight... Mine was spawned out , but the mount still turned out good as she still had her girth...

Cut it right in the middle and makes two gar hoops. Snap it around the gar at the gills and pull tight forward . It will catch in the gills and then two of you can drag her in.
