I was given several pounds of bull alligator meat that was deemed unpalatable. Would like any ideas on how to use this as a bait. Smells very fishy. First I’ve had. I have a gallon of fat rendering too. Thanks.

Would cut into pieces and freeze on cookie sheet. Then put in gallon bags. No preserving needed. If it smells good to you it should be fine bait as is. I've never had or rendered gator fat

I’ve smelled gator oil before definitely a unique smell, would consider it as a curiosity lure. I would also throw some of that gator on the grill before freezing it, might be just the ticket for a hungry coyote .
