Hi guys,
I fish the Tidal Basin in D.C. quite a bit and there is a healthy population of gar, however I am at a loss on how to catch them. I always fish for catfish when I'm there and I get bit a lot without any hookups and I'm sure gar are the culprit. The only time I've seen them caught is by accident when the lines gets tangled up in their mouths, I've been brainstorming for quite some time now and I think I've come up with a solution. I was thinking in wrapping my cut bait in yarn or twine so when the gar eats it it'll get stuck in the yarn. I'm looking for other people's opinions on this and to see if anyone has tried this with success!
