Does anyone know any good lures to catch big Gar. I have been seeing this big probably a 15 or 20 pound gar down at the creek. I am dieing to catch it. any tips would be appreciated.....................

bump.............

bassfisher02 · 08-05-05, 03:19 PM

any live bait........with a steel leader.............and atleast 20lb test. if you want to catch it on artificial try spinnerbaits. but you have to have a steal leader.....watch out for the teeth!

Dyas · 08-05-05, 03:28 PM

I got 40lb power pro for line so no worries there...... Have to did through the saltwater box and find a leader............ I reckon i will go to the service station and pick up some nightcrawlers and another spinnerbait.......

Dyas · 08-05-05, 03:29 PM

thanks.........................

Why would you want to catch a gar? I was just wondering.

Dyas · 08-05-05, 04:41 PM

Cause its fun and I want to catch something bigger than a small bluegill............. Its either a big gar or a big Chain Pickeral.......... The state record chain Pickeral was caught out of that creek (dyas creek)...........

HulaPopr · 08-05-05, 06:49 PM

You can just use cut bait and put it on a treble hook and bobber. Make sure to let the gar take it for a long time, they take forever to really take it go, then cross his eyes.

Hey try a floatin Rapala. Them damn fish dont see very good so hes prolly gonna miss it a few times.

Oh yeah make sure you dont try and lip it

Dyas · 08-05-05, 10:46 PM

I aint that stupid................

southernsnatcher · 08-05-05, 11:59 PM

just get urself a milk jug. (make sure it has the screw on lid) and run about a 2 foot steel leader from it...then slap on a 5/0 or 6/0 hook with a small bream or cut bait.. throw it out and let it fish...

guacomole · 08-06-05, 12:06 AM

Never tried to catch a gar on a rod and reel but I do alot of pike fishing u north. Try a small bream with its tailfin cut off, it willl make it flap its tail alot but it wont go anywere.

flfireman · 08-06-05, 11:10 AM

I used to use a large silver spoon, sight fish the gar and drop it on his head, works for gators to.

Rodman_Rob · 08-06-05, 04:46 PM

SHARP hooks for gar, tough mouths, use a good sturdy rod, definately use the power pro, let it run with it for a little bit, be patient, and hook that sob as hard as you can to penetrate the mouth.

basscatcher03 · 08-06-05, 10:23 PM

yes hook like bill dance use the power pro and i usally use the dead minnows they take it but of course let it run with it

Dyas · 08-06-05, 10:34 PM

Ah........................................ Jug fishin................ Why didnt I think of that........ As many as I catch on the Alabama river with jugs you think it woulda hit me.......... Might work on some of the catfish down there to................. Thanks for reminding me...... We got some cut bait in the freezer we were gonna use with jugs this summer but never got to go...................

basscatcher03 · 08-06-05, 11:15 PM

Dyas · 08-06-05, 11:29 PM

No luck..................... Just patience............ and lots of cut bait

basscatcher03 · 08-06-05, 11:34 PM

Dyas · 08-07-05, 02:28 AM

I always thought the jugs fished themselves...........................

basscatcher03 · 08-07-05, 11:41 AM

how do u fish jugs

bassfisher02 · 08-07-05, 04:57 PM

you hook line to a jug, put a hook and bait on it........toss it out, and what for it to start runnin off, then you chase it down, pull it and the fish up, and there you have it.

Dyas · 08-07-05, 11:33 PM

And that easy...................

basscatcher03 · 08-08-05, 12:59 AM
