[font "Arial"][size 2]Welcome to Big Fish. We have Gar here on the East Coast also. The rivers around me are full of Gars. I have caught some before but do not try to catch them. I was reading an article about taking a nylon rope, unwinding it, so the Gars teeth would hang in it. I am testing this now but have not caught one yet. For the most part getting the Gar to hit something is not the hard part. The hard part is hooking it because the long mouth or bill is hard. The Gars I have caught have been on minnows while fishing for other fish. I have heard that fish guts below a cork works well. Sorry I could not be more help.[/size][/font]
