Perhaps Gar are a lot more predatory than we think. Thanks for your interesting reply.Cheers, Tony. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that Gar was a one off(the other guys on Penneshaw Jetty were just as amazed as me). How long was your metal jig? and was it fairly hooked in it's mouth? What length are your gulps?Cheers, Tony. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
