I think the heat deflectors over the burners might be upside down.

How are the cast nets that you see at Walmart and Academy Sports that run about $39 ? The 5 foot ones. I have never had one but I want to catch my own bait from now on. So I am new to it and I dont want to get a very expsensive one in case I screw it up at first. Any help is appreciated.

I have this one from yesterday

If the grease doesn't have anywhere to run to and forms a puddle under the food and any flame gets near it she will have a grease fire. Ask me how that turns out

The catch pan is the rusted pan under the burners and the hole in the center is for the grease run off. Looks to be missing the catch can. As mentioned above she can buy a factory made catch can or you could save her some money and make one out of a soup can and a metal coat hanger. Since it's not been used in a while id use goo be gone and remove that sticker on the underside of the lid because that will be a nasty mess when you fire it off the first time. Grill grates also look rusted up. I'd fire it up on high for 10 minutes with the lid closed and let it get to 500°+. Have a clean wire brush, veg spray oil and a clean damp rag handy. Kill the flame, open the lid and hit the grates with a wire brush followed by the spray oil then the damp rag. Fire it back up and she should be ready to make some good grilled goodies.

You can grill them , the meat is so firm that it wont "mush" up between the grates. The main way I cook them is just like catfish. I cut the loins up in smaller pieces , put them in some salt water in a bowl and then roll them into a bowl of cornmeal and flour that is 2 parts cornmeal and 1 part flour. Then deep fry them in oil like catfish.

To be honest I didn’t know you could eat them, But I never had alligator either. I used to see monster gar when I was a kid down south.

I carry both depending on my needs at the time. Where I'm going, what I'm doing, how I'm dressed, weather, circumstances, etc and so on determine which gun I carry. Could be either one and I got no problem with that at all.

Caught a couple gar this morning, going to give this a go, how do you cook them?

So yesterday I drove out to San Antonio and went through Memphis before lunch. I took the detour over I-55 or whatever it was south of the bridge that is out of service. Not too much delay for me. Can't say the same for the people headed into Memphis from Arkansas. That traffic looked backed up all the way back to I-40 practically.

Thanks gregintenn. Will do

I carry auto because they have a thinner profile for the same round count. I also shoot better with autos. now caliber and size depends on where I'm going.

I tried eating gar last year and now it's the main fish I try to catch. The skin is hard as plastic and you need tin-snips to cut it open. After you get it open there are 2 long boneless loins on each side of the back. No need to gut it or skin it. The meat is odorless and firm like chicken. It's like alligator and I love it !!! This Gar was 3 feet long and both loins were around 15 inches long and nice and thick.

I fish from the bank for right now until I get a boat. I still have fun. I wade in a lot of water while fishing in places like Caney Fork River and such. But this year I'm trying to get as many Gar as I can get to fill up the freezer. They love those minnows , shad and shiners that are caught with those nets. I just hope I don't get those weights caught on the bottom and break the darn net. I guess I'll practice in a shallow pond that I know is clear on the bottom.

Excellent! :up: I'm currently abandoning all social media and other business platforms that are anti-1A and anti-2A, etc. If everyone would walk away, 75+ million working class Americans, we could really shrink their bottom line. Heck, I’ve spent tons of cash on Amazon. I was buying nearly everything from them. We can’t continue to support businesses that do not support our Constitutional rights.
