Another good day on the Trinity river near Crockett Tx. Almost a half dozen gar caught and one just a hair under 6 foot. I only do catch and release and all my gar are released unharmed after a few pictures, i support a sustainable fishery for future generations. the gear used was A Fin Nor Offshore 6500 spooled with 100 pound Suffix performance braid on a 6 foot 6 inch Shimano Trevala rated for 50-100 braid. The bait used was cut carp in about half pound chunks on bottom in the bends in the river. ![[Linked Image]](https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/t31.0-8/11069834_956803447711036_8487663304620419951_o.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/l/t31.0-8/s720x720/12068582_956801384377909_8201889111986297590_o.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/t31.0-8/12034194_956560221068692_8635386982488830632_o.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/t31.0-8/12080029_956557554402292_1916070620048431261_o.jpg)

They were surfacing at Bridgeport last Saturday. We were chasing sandies and wipers, and I saw the water boiling across the lake. We eased over there and found it to be a large school of gar. I tried some top waters and flys, but never got a bite. They don't scare from a boat either, when we left I went right thru them on the trolling motor and they could have cared less
