Since you have located the gar we can have Lady Jiggs and Stump Hunter fish there and catch gar while the remaining of us fish the area around them and catch crappie.
Like a couple of the others say. Fish below them. I have to as Lady Jiggs is as bad as SH in catching gar.

Dont worry about the gar. The crappie will still be there. Ive fished down through gar and caught crappies on more than one occasion.

The thing is yall say fish under them but I was fishin bout 10 to 12 feet and was still hooking into them. I finally got tired of tying hooks on so I give up and went somewhere else.

I've heard the gar eat pretty well, haven't had the opportunity to try it. I'm not much of a gar fisherman. Only one I ever caught was a beast. When it got tired of playing with me, it snapped my 15lb test like wet thread, and swam off.

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.
And we act like this Nightstalking thing is new.
For some excitment, read the next verse. A special guest arrived, they filled their coolers and had a fish fry on the beach...in the morning. My kind of people.- Bowfin

I've fished as deep as 20' (on the bottom) and still hung into gar, but usually theyre off the bottom allowing the minnows to stay down long enough to catch a few crappie too. Mighta just been in the area I fished in, not sure. This past summer I fished a cove in Hartwell for stripers. Seem bait, hugh arches...looked like I was gonna load the boat. Found out it was all gar in with the shad. If stripers were there the gar would hit the baits before the stripers had an opportunity soi I finally left that area once I knew without a shadow of a doubt that it was gar.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
