MFBAB Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Get a fly rod and some of that white nylon rope/cord. Cut a piece a couple of inches long off, clip a swivel to one end, melting with a lighter helps to keep it attached, then fray the other end out a little. How to fish it: Put it on the end of a short leader, 3-4' should be fine and basically sight fish for them. It is similar to fishing with a weightless fluke. The nylon will snag in their teeth so you don't need a hook for this. No joke, this works pretty good it you can see them. Quote
grizzly1654 Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 I read an article in a magazine about fishing for gar like this. The guy mentioned in the article was a guide who specificly targeted gar like that. It looked like alot of fun. Get a fly rod and some of that white nylon rope/cord.
