Do gar run off other fish?

Danny, I live in Lexington, and I hate to say it but I hardly get to far away from this place these days because I have horses in training right now and trying to sell my home to rebuild down by Herrington. I appreciate the offer and will defiantly keep you in mind when I get the chance to come your way. I have fished the KY Lake a couple of times and have had a great time each trip. Herrington and the KY River are very active with gar right now.

How long does this activity typically last?

They will feed July through September and the surface. You can also use small crappie minnows. Sometimes they will hit those before anything else. If you can find them where they are schooled on the surface, most likey they are feeding on small minnows.

Thanks. So in late September or October, I'll be heading back on my own after stripers! But I think next time I'll put in down by Gratz. This ramp was hell to get to, even with 4WD. And yeah, there were minnows of some sort schooled all around. I was using a small white fluke on a 3/8 oz jig, and when the bait got back to the boat, there would be minnows schooled all around it, following it in.

Starting now, the river will be full of minnows and by September as the water cools, the bass will be attacking them and that's when crank bait, spinnerbait and topwater fishing gets good on the river.
