Gar Fishing- July 7

Post by Tip-up »

The last few days my brother Jig head and I have been following a big pod of gar.....The fish were smacking everything we through at 'em but we could not keep them on the hook.....

Yesterday I got a few tips on how to get them....Attached to whatever bait was getting tossed was a one foot stinger hook with a big mustad treble.Nothing was going to get away this time ;D.

We arrived at our spot on the Ottawa at 4:00pm.As soon as we got there you could see active fish thrashing around....sight fishing was the only way to locate them.

First baits to hit the water included Northam Fishing Tackles spinnerbaits and a Blue Fox number 5 size Blade spinner(Frog colour).....right away Jig head slammed the hooks into this guy :P

Minutes later I followed up with this little scrapper.....

We were ready for any bass that made a presence :D

During the few hours we were down there we had on at least 5 fish including Jig heads huge one that flipped off before we could glove it :-/ It was at least a good 10+ pounds :o...

As the pod moved further down along the weed edge, it made it impossible to get a cast at them...Smallmouth bass was our target now ::)

Non really of any size, a great way to end the night though...

Heading up to the cottage early tomorrow morning for walleye then back to get them big gar on Sunday...Report to follow..

Hope you enjoyed 8-)

Great looking gar!

Fishing gar with frayed rope is illegal unless you actually use a fish hook.
Time's fun when you're having flies.

a good thing to use is ,,yellow nylon rope,,,,,just fluff it,,or some fantex,,dont need hook,,, :shock: ...there theth get stuck to it,,,, :P :wink: ........((((talk to 2 mnr quebec guy,,,,its legal dont need a hook on the rig,,,))))its legal in quebec,,dont no for ontario.....

it get even worst,,,i dont even have to own a fishing permit to do so,,,,because fishing wit a piece off woll or rope is not fishing if there no hook on it,,,,,,,,, :? :shock: ...its not call fishing........................BUT if i do catch a fish,,it become fishing,,,,,weird,,then i need a permit,,,, :roll:

its call trowing a rop in the water..........if there no hook....... :lol:

somtime,,law are just plane.............. :? :!: .......


i have to try for them,,,,i was supose to,, :roll: ,,,,,cats got my attention this year,,, :roll:
