Drift fishing over shallow water with live bait will get you started. As far as what gear, 15-2o lb and a good rod and reel,, you will have a ball. I caught one over 4 feet in a river on a crappie rig with 8 lb test line. It was fun.

All these bow hunters on here and nobody’s said fling an arrow at them yet?!
That aside, rope lures are a real dirty trick for gar. I like to tie a cluster of paracord inner strings, about 4 or 5 inches long, to a circle hook, then hook a shad on there, and hang it out about a foot and a half under a big bobber. Once the bobber disappears, give him about a minute.
Or find some shallow water at night, and gig them. I don’t live close enough to the coast to hit the flounder very often, so gar and gaspargou in a shallow river make a dandy substitute
