this sounds like a regular gar, I would try tossing a 1 inch black Jitterbug indirectly at it. I would also attach a 3 inch leadered stinger to the back hook.
several cast may be needed to hook up. you will want to cast past them and come over to one side or the other. you dont want to drop a bomb on their heads like a bass.
Retreiveing it slowly gennerationg just enough action to make it look like a swimming rat should do the job.
last week I pulled in a longnose gar with a Charlie Swim bait from MegaBait lures
