Gar Fishing?!

Does anyone ever go out targeting specifically gar? I've done it a few times over the past several weeks and it's been great.
Don't know why more people don't fish for them. They put up a great fight and me thinks they're one of the neatest looking fish out there.

Downtown on the Ottawa River. Right infront of the heating & cooling plant.
Hang a minnow below a float, and it shouldn't take too long. The average one is well over 35inches.
