I don't know if anyone is trying to fish any of the bridges on the Big G now but I have been to 3 different ones at 4 am and the number of leopard gar is shocking on the corners and under the bridges. I estimate hundreds and they are slaying the minnows that the crappie are going to need this fall and winter. I have seen a gar here and there over the years but never such a massive concentration as on the bridge corners. You cant fish for them as they accidently run into your line then pull you jig into their gills or underside and then you have to either breakoff or fight it till you can unhook it!!! Or they will suck your jig in like they are doing the minnows and then you hope when they jump they will throw the hook! If any of you know any of those bow fishermen send them to the bridges, they don't even have to use a boat , as they could stand on a corner and shoot them all night. They range from about 2 ft to 4 feet in length and hang on top of the water with their top fins out of the water.
