How to Catch THIS Prehistoric Predator - Longnose Gar Fishing

Chasing longnose gar on Lake Erie has been on my summer bucket list for while, and I finally made it happen! These prehistoric-looking fish are one of Ontario’s coolest predators, with long toothy beaks, lightning-fast bait strikes, and wild jumps once they’re hooked. In this video, I’ll take you along for a full day on the bay where I break down my exact baits and gear for targeting gar — from the rods and reels I trust to the lures and rigs that actually work. I’ll also share important details like ideal water temperatures for finding active gar, a bit about their mating habits (which make them easier to spot in shallow water during certain times), and why polarized sunglasses are one of the most important tools you can have for sight-fishing these incredible predators. You’ll see some epic battles, a few jumps that will make your heart race, and I’ll drop fun facts about gar along the way so you can learn while you watch. If you’ve ever wanted to try gar fishing in Ontario, or you just love seeing unique freshwater species up close, this is a trip you won’t want to miss. #garfishing #longnosegar #longpointbay #lakerie #greatlakes #fishing #fishingtips #freshwaterfishing #sightfishing #fishshimano #girlswhofish #minnkota #smokercraft
