But when you see that head come out of the water, you know you’re in for a fight.
Do gar fish jump out of the water?Īlligator Gar Since they can live for 50 years, reach around 10 feet long, and weigh as much as 350 pounds, they certainly can’t leap from the water very high or far. The gars feed both day and night but are more active as night feeders. Longnose gars are primarily surface oriented feeders. Long nose gars are ambush predators laying in wait or slowly stalking their prey. I like to use a piece of hot dog about 3 inches under a cork, and sight cast to them. Hot dogs, bologna, dead shrimp, pretty much anything that any critter would eat. Like all fishes, alligator gar are exposed to contaminants in the waters in which they live, as well as the things they eat. While the flesh is tasty, it should be noted that the eggs of the alligator gar are toxic and may cause sickness if eaten.
