    Gar fishing questions

    Im on the lake almost every weekend and in between wakesurfing, tubing or wakeboarding I often see huge spotted gar come to the surface, sometimes pretty close to my boat. I have always thought about throwing a line out while we are stopped. However, I have no idea what type of gear/bait I would use? Any ideas? Thanks.

        Shiners, perch, pretty much any small bait. On a small treble hook under a small float. They are fun to catch

          I have seen some that are 3-4 feet long.

            If you catch a 4 footer be sure to have it weighed and measured for your place in the record books

                    That's not a spotted gar but I can see how you got confused.

                      I can't see the size of them. . . due to that pesky gar.

                          I was avoiding this thread. Now I'm in. All the way in.

                            I have had great luck with live bait this year. I usually catch gizzard shad as big or larger than my hand or a sun perch. They are a lot of fun! Kinda feel like I’m offshore fishing
