ive ben trying to catch a gar fo reither my tank or pond. and have had no luck. what should i use for bait and how should i rig it. ive been using a live chub, shiner, or small bullhead catfish (wich ever i can find) and float it about 2 feet under a slip float. but the only thing ive caught was bass and catfish.

ill try the shrimp, what do i do, let it sink or float it?
hmm..interesting. But if you're really using shrimps, just let it swim in the water to attract rather than sinkng it.;)

I agree with koji let it float naturally to attract the little fella your after.
Nothing more sweeter to a fish than a Shrimp swimming for it's dear life.
so i get live shrimp? i was thinking dead ocean shrimp. how do i get live shrimp (my bait shop doesnt sell them) and would a crawdad work? oh and how big of a shrimp? ive seen little ones on the shore about 1/2 inch long but thats it.
