I went out to Lake Pontchartrain with Mark Hood to check out some spots I had heard of recently.  We ended up going a little further down first and fishing the Orleans Avenue Canal mouth.  I was using some really old bait shrimp that I took home and froze a few months ago.   They were very soft but I was able to catch a croaker quite rapidly and use him as bait for the gar.  I saw at least a couple of nice large alligator gars chasing my bait fish and I finally got one to bite at it.  I tried setting the hook a second time and the gar spit it out.  The weather was not cooperating and this session got cut short as the wind was too strong for us to feel any bites.  I made an oath to go back and land me a big gar one day.  Please let me know in the comments if you have any experience catching alligator gars in this spot.
