Effective Needle Nose Gar Fishing Techniques in Georgia

Question
 I live in fort benning GA.  I have seen gar comming to the top of the water.  I was trying to catch them with soft and plastic bait.  The river that I was fishing in is the chatahuchy.  what is the best way to catch gar?

Answer
They'll hit a soft plastic bait, but setting the hook with that would be very difficult.  Your best bet is to go with live bait or a hookless lure.  The systems developed by us at the Gar Anglers' Sporting Society are well described on the GASS site at www.GARFISHING.com.  Go to the gArticles section, then check out GAR ID and How To Catch a Gar.
