How to fish for Gar

[JasonRE]

After smoking my first gar, (given to me by bro-in-law, caught by someone else), I want to catch attempt to catch one or two on my next trip out. What's the best rig set up and bait selection for garfish? I fish mainly out of Catahoula Lake where I've seen them before. My cousin actually hooked one once while fishing for cats using chicken liver but I think it was a fluke.

Any thoughts?? Thanks!
