Fish on the Menu
We're targeting some real beauties on this trip, each with its own special quirks and challenges. Let's break 'em down:
American Angler: Don't let the fancy name fool you – these fish are a blast to catch! They're known for putting up a good fight, so get ready to feel that rod bend. American Anglers tend to hang out near structure, so we'll be checking out some prime spots where they like to hide. They're active year-round, but spring and fall can be especially hot for these guys.
Alligator Gar: Now here's a fish with some serious prehistoric vibes. Alligator Gar are like living fossils, and they can grow to massive sizes. We're talking potential for 100+ pounds here, folks! These ambush predators love warm, sluggish waters. Summer's usually the best time to target them, when they're most active. Landing one of these beasts is definitely a story you'll be telling for years.
American Eel: Slippery and mysterious, American Eels are a unique catch. These snake-like fish are catadromous, meaning they live in freshwater but spawn in the ocean. We often find them hanging out near the bottom, so we'll use some special techniques to entice them. Fall is prime time for eel fishing, as they start their migration to the sea. They might not be the prettiest fish in the water, but they sure are interesting!

Learn more about the species
Alligator Gar
Alligator Gar are living fossils, and they're a blast to catch. These monsters can grow over 6 feet long and top 100 pounds. You'll find them in the warm, slow-moving waters of the South – think Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. They love hanging out in river bends and backwaters. Late summer is your best bet when the water's hot and low. Anglers chase them for the thrill – it's like hooking a dinosaur. To land one, use heavy tackle and wire leaders. Bait up with a big chunk of carp or mullet on a 5/0 treble hook. Float it under a large, bright bobber. Be patient – these fish are cautious. When you get a hit, give it time to swallow before setting the hook. Remember, in most places it's catch-and-release only. Careful handling is key – those teeth are no joke. It's a unique fishing experience you won't find anywhere else.
American Angler
The American Angler is a unique bottom-dweller that'll test your skills. These flat fish grow up to 55 inches, but most are around 39 inches and 26 pounds. They're masters of camouflage, blending into rocky sea floors at depths over 1,200 feet. Spring and fall are prime seasons when they're most active. Anglers love targeting them for their fierce fight and tasty white meat. To catch one, you'll need patience and heavy gear. Use large live baits like mackerel or squid, and let it sink to the bottom. Slowly drag your bait across the seafloor to mimic prey. When you feel a bite, hold on tight – these fish have powerful jaws and won't give up easily. Pro tip: when you're reeling one in, keep its mouth pointed up to avoid those sharp teeth. It's a challenging catch, but landing an American Angler is something you won't forget.
American Eel
American Eels are slippery characters that'll give you a run for your money. These snake-like fish typically range from 1 to 4 feet, weighing up to 17 pounds. You'll find them in freshwater streams and lakes along the East Coast, often tucked away in muddy bottoms or hiding under rocks. Fall is prime time for eeling, as they're more active before their winter slowdown. Anglers love the challenge – they're strong fighters and notoriously hard to handle. To catch one, fish at night using worms or small fish as bait. Let it sit on the bottom where eels like to feed. When you feel a bite, give it a moment before setting the hook. Pro tip: bring a towel to grip these slimy customers when unhooking. It's not the prettiest fish, but the thrill of the catch and their tasty meat make it worth the effort.
