Hello I love to fish for Alligator gar but have not been able to find a good spot to fish for quite some time now. I use to go down close to Rio Hondo on FM 1420 a little feeder canal that was just great for gar and reds. our bigest catch there was a 7ft gar. but now that place does not have much water and is no longer a good spot to fish due to that. anywhere here in the valley would be great if you would like to share some info on a good spot I would really be grateful to you. and any tips to how or what you use to reel them in.
Thanks

I remember a friend of mine took me to a place in Progreso that was called El Relampago. (Spell Check). He has caught some gar there but that time I went we didn't catch anything. Border Patrol is pretty tight right now because of everything going on in Mexico.

Yes I know that place well it is known to hold some big gar but its been over fished I have gone and not had any luck

great  pictures would be nice did he fish from the shore or on a boat ?

yup, el relampago used to be good for gar, but its way overfished, and true, the border patrol never leaves you alone... just a couple of miles north on 491 theres this brown water arroyo, that place hold a hell of a lot of gar, just last week i saw one about 5 feet long right in front of me... same week i caught a huge catfish there, after struggling with it for a while it finally came up, showed its tail and snapped my line... by the way has anyone fished at the los indios reservoirs???

[LUISJG]

  Lot of gar in the Arroyo between the liftbridge and arroyo city.  Saw a nice 6 footer Saturday night rolling in front of the fishing lights.
