Tie a loop in a short section of white nylon rope, tie your mainline or leader to the loop, fray the end opposite the loop (no hook necessary)and cast anywhere you see gar on top. When you twitch that rope, it comes to life in the water and they cant stand it. Hard to explain (or believe) till you try it/see it, but their teeth get tangled in the rope and its nearly impossible for them to get off. An old timer showed me this and i can swear by it.

Btw, and more important, watching you fish with your boys is almost as much fun as fishing. Super intense, yet patient at the same time, an incredible balance! From one dad to another, it blesses my soul. More parenting like this is what this world needs!

My friend, that was fun to watch. Great job with the boys...

Love seeing the kids with you. The older guy is turning into a great fisherman like his dad.

Great job boys and dad, I was one of the jet skiers that day and was a pleasure to meet you at the dock. You have a great channel with how to's, rigging and bait set ups. Thank you and get after it!!!!

These are memories those kids will cherish forever.

That was just awesome !! What a day with your sons. Congrats. Was fun to watch.

Another great day on the water with your future fisherman. Love it.

i can't wait for the sheepsheads.

I love how Gar jump and fight. Now I know they task good I may have to make another trip this August.

Awesome job with the boys!

We eat them down here in south Texas , great Video Captain !! Tight Lines Captain 🐟🐟🐟6

Well done dad, those boys are great fishermen and having a ball!

Heck the little guy is doing great too

Man I was praying you wouldn’t loose that fish. Breathing pretty hard there old man.

Net job of the century! You are da man

I’ve caught several in downtown New Bern just fishing shrimp on bottom.

I like catching and eating Gar. Easy to filet.

try an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel to get thru the skin/armor plate.

Been catching em all month pretty fun if u ask me lol

This is what's it's all about Teaching Our Kids to Fish .. Way better than letting them playing on a phone or a laptop .. Good Parent MB.

Really enjoyed that and pulls at my heart strings remembering taking my boys fishing and watching them dig into some fried fish. btw- I've admired that stainless steel table. Do you remember where you got it?

Man I gar fished for several years, my buddies thought I was crazy until they hooked a 4ft long gar and there arms were about to fall off..the gar is an awesome fish to catch..
