How To Catch Gar

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

How To Catch Gar

Post by Spence Scout »

The only reason why I ask is becuase I had a big Gar follow in my Xrap, well actually I saw him cruise by while I was fishing offshore, then pitched my xrap his way and twitched out in front of him he kind of looked at it then wondered off. Then I casted in the directio nof where he was swimming then again this time he came darting at it hitting it with his snout. Did that like 3-4 times continously. Anybody ever catch one on a stick bait before or crank?
I was told by a friend of mine Richard Webber to use wool flies so it gets caught in their teeth..

Keep at them. Its hard to get a hook into them. RJ likes the cranks.

Ya but I was just looking for the most common technique used by most anglers, see thing is I dont target them or I dont have the transportation to get to gar unless I bus.. So I never target them however its a fish Id like to add to my picture collection sooner then later!

I asked the same question in another topic.

The answer was small trebles, like a #0 or #1 mepps/blue fox

There is a lure out there i saw along time ago it looks like a regular crank with nylon string hanging off the back instead of hooks. the nylon gets tangled around the teeth.
