I tend to agree...........a GOOD friend, god rest his soul would tell me that when the gar were present, they WERE with the baitfish, and the BASS would have been there, but the gar do in fact cause them to scatter.

So, if I find gar, I know I'm in the right place, just the wrong time.

Sometimes, I've been able to pull off or go tighter to cover, and catch a few, but if the bass are schooled in the same place, I generally just leave.

Later,
