trying to catch a potential world record long lose gar????
i wanna use a rod and reel not a bow. i saw the thing and it was 4 1/2 foot long and REALLY thick. it's in a chain of 3 (small) lakes all i have is a Jon boat.
well, my real question is what should i use 4 bait what kind a lb test should i use and should i use wire???
the lake is deep about 20 foot deep and VERY murky should i fish on the bottom or with a float or just the bait
i do have a mediam-heavy action pole with 20lb line
and a heavy action pole with 20lb line
witch should i use??
the heaviest line 4 leader is 50lb
the main bait their is blue gill
should i use a J hook or circle hook
how big should they B????
use the medium action because it is hard to hook a gar really good and when you do hook them the membrane it the mouth is soft and tears easy so a rod that gives a little bit would be good, and makes it more fun to land. i think it is a good idea to use wire but is not entirely neccessary, if it is a world record it would i would invest in some wire. i have caught gar up to 3 feet long on 4lb test. if you are going to use bluegill i would reccomend hooking him through his back to keep him near the surface. gar surface to breath because they have an air tube connecting their nose and swim bladder and they come up to gulp air from the atmosphere. when he comes up to breath he will see that bluegill and take a good look. i have 2 personal favorite set ups for gar; 1. take a big chub or shiner minnow and put that on a j hook about 1-2 feet under a big orange styrofoam bobber, they love the orange color and i have had gar eat the bobber, 2. take a 1/8 ounce jig head and put on a shad immitation swim tail jig and an orange bobber, wait for the fish to surface and through the rig past him, pull the bobber up to his face until he sees it. then reel in while he chases the bobber, when you get to the bank then stop reeling, the fish will dissapear and then you will see your bobber swimming out, next comes the important part; open the bail and let him swim it back out. when he starts taking it out at a fairly good and steady rate, close the bail and set the hook completely oposite way the fish is swimming, this will take a while to get the hang of but it will come to you.
Good Luck!
