This is my third attempt and fail at trying to get my 10" Florida onto krill. He won't take pellets worms fish shrimp or krill. Just live feeders. I am done feeding him live constantly and it is time for him to switch over. I have tried the fishing line trick, just dangling it, letting it sink. Leaving him alone for an hour lights on or off. He has gone about a week without feeders and still nothing. He will swim up to it and look at it and curl up to it but just won't take it.... Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Mine went from live to silversides and now anything except pellets. They spit them out. Try holding a silverside in the water when your gar is close to the surface. That's how I got them to eat frozen.
