It is hard to fish without bait! Nets are intimidating to a lot of people but worth learning

About a year ago me and my brother was cat fishing, one of my rods lines went dead instantly thought it was a cat, well once we got it in after about 2 hrs (we both was 20 and maybe 120 ish pounds) so we switched, finally got him in, turned out to be a 6 ft gar he was a skinny one but ever since.... I'm on the search for bigger 😂

Either way will work. If you use live bait you’ll want to use a weight to make sure it doesn’t around too much

@@BitesandStrikesFishing Thanks so much! I have found a spot that has a ton of them, but have yet to catch one. I keep after it though. Do you ever use a float to suspend the bait, or always put the bait on the bottom?
@BitesandStrikesFishing

@@bradwhitfill4008 I hardly ever suspend the bait. Normally I just put the bait on the hook, no weight or float. Just bait on a hook, it’s one of the best methods. Most videos where you see gar anglers using a float it’s not suspending the bait, we use it to spot the line so we know where the fish is running. It’s just a spotting tool

Gars are typically moving. They are more active in summertime in the really hot months. I lot of people will tell you that they are more active at night as well.

@BitesandStrikesFishing

@@george5697 you need a sturdy rod. Something that is a 7’ medium heavy or heavy power. It should be able to handle at least 6oz weights/lure. That info is normally on the shaft somewhere. I personally love the Tiger Sticks. They are ugly… but basically indestructible and $80. I see a lot of other Gar and Saltwater KZitemrs use them as well. Best bang for the $$$ hands down. But if you want to want to spend more the Mad Kats, Hellcats and Whisker Seekers would be the way to go. amzn.to/3y6rDxX

What size hook is ideal?
@BitesandStrikesFishing
Жыл бұрын
Gar hooks are wildly debatable. Everyone has their own preferences. Lots of people use size 8/0-12/0 j-hooks If you plan to eat the gar a size 4 treble hook that you let them swallow. And most recently very small size 1-2 live bait hooks for the safest catch and release method.

Sorry you feel that. I have a full playlist of gar fishing videos using my techniques. So they do work. Proof is in the videos. Sounds like you have your own methods that work. Care to share? I also don’t target gar in the bays, so it would make sense that different techniques would work in different waters.
