How Do You Catch Gar Fish?

[Big Berg]

Hi fellow raiders. I was wondering whether anyone can give me some tips on how to catch Gar Fish.

I have never really fished for Gar Fish before but I have been told that they are really good as live or dead bait. Can anyone also tell me where to catch them and what the best bait for them is. I usually fish Avoca, Sydney Harbour, Lillypilly and Port Kembla. Are there any Gar Fish there? I assume very light tackle is best.

thanks

R u in a boat or landbased, boatwise, go at night burley up with bread mix and a few pillies, shine a torch on the water and look for the gars in the torchlight they will be on the surface then scoop them up in a net, easy.

Thanks Victor. Is there a particular time that is best for catching them. Also would the best spots be wharf or jetties? I usually fish the break water wall at port kembla
