caught a florida gar

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I am signing off for the night.
Good night and I hope you come to Ocala to see some really spoiled, spring fed (and of course hand fed) fish.
 
If Im ever in the area, I will try to convince my dad. (Im in Ft. Lauderdale) Like If I'm ever in Orlando on vacation Ill try to visit there.
 
nice man
 
Cool catch!
Have you tried fishing for them with live bait how we would fish for pike in Europe. We uses a float down to a wire trace with treble hooks on it take a look at this link this will give you some idea of the rigs we use. This works for pike and Zander I think I could work quite well.

Sorry meant QUIET by that I meant does not bother other tankmates. SORRY
 
Try a piece of braided rope (un-braid it) tied to your line instead of bait.
Works like velcro with their teeth. And no harm to the fish.
