looking for tips on catching alligator gars here in south texas. i
have lost a 4 footer and a 6 footer. if anyone has tips or suggestions
let me know.

Use spinnerbaits and replace the rubber skirt with either a frayed nylon
rope, or pantyhose.

For a fun twist, fish for them with a long cane pole. Just before the line
breaks, let go of the cane pole - they will run a short distance, where you
can once again pick up the cane pole and fight them some more. That's how
they fish for muskies up north anywayz.....
