My buddies got me a bow for my birthday. Got a Cajun shore runner. So I’m new to the game. This sub seems pretty dead but I will hopefully be posting on here frequently now.

What do you guys do with your fish. My freezer stays full of crappie so I don’t really want to eat carp or gar. I’ve ready gar can be good tho. Talked to a bunch of people who just throw everything away. I’ll kinda feel bad

cut em up the middle, hit the air sack, toss em back in.

And it’s legal to throw them back in water from bank and boat right? I know you can’t leave them on the bank

I know Asians carp and buffaloes are invasive. Can you tell me why to kill gar and commons. Tomorrow I feel like gar will be the easiest thing to try to go after

You generally won't have to "kill" them after you land em, if you'd rather not. Something about an arrow thru their midsection shortens the life expectancy substantially. Gar are liable to survive if shot behind the ribs, fwiw.

Commons are as well. Gar are about like coyotes.

sometimes we'll see more gar than carp.
