[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 2291113, member: 15527"] Oklahomabassin - consider it a standing invite then. Anytime you get ready, we'll go.... Mitch Rapp - I fish around on Grand Lake for gar and always fish from the bank. Any place you see gar surfacing, you can catch them. They key here though, is finding the right depth they will strike at. The place I have been fishing at, they have always hit at exactly "7" feet! Vary this by a foot in either direction and you'll come home empty handed. I fished at 7 feet yesterday for 3 hours and never got a strike. I then changed the cork depth to 4 feet and I caught those three in the pictures in about an hours time and lost 2 that I had solid hook-ups on but, even a good 20 lb. braided line was no match for all them teeth... Sounds like your kids are real young. Make sure you keep a hold on them if they hook into a nice size gar, cause when they make their first run, they can pull a small kid in real quick like - if they don't turn loose of the rod first... If you live around these parts, I'd gladly take you and your kids on a gar fishing trip. Maybe they would get a chance to see "jaws", a 70+ inch gar I have been trying to catch for the last four years.... DAVID [/QUOTE]
