i have gar in my pond. saw them trolling the shallow water almost mid day last weekend. i want to catch them but dont know how.

I also have a TON of shad in the pond.... like too many. I can pull in cast net full of 2-8" shad..... idk if that is good or bad.

Use the shad as bait? That's what they're eating

Or just throw a stickbait/broke back minnow. Gar are caught in the top of the water column typically. They come up for air and will react to basically anything moving on the surface from my experience

Toss a cast net if you really want him out.

Put a bigger shad on a treble hook about a foot under a cork. Let them run with it for awhile. I've caught a few this way
