Gar Cruising the Surface
Message:
Friday while I was into snappers at Seaside Park I saw a gar cruising the surface occasionally taking minnows. It looked to be anywhere from 10 to 14" long.
How often do you find certain types of gars in the western Sound along deep shorelines this time of year?

I think I caught one at the reef last year. It was a green/brown, had a snout and some teeth. It was <10" long. Weird catch.

I've seen tons of needlefish-looking things in the Groton area, usually during August. Brown/green long and skinny. About a foot long. They dart around on the surface. Never managed to catch one but they sometimes go after the little kastmasters I use for snappers. Not sure if it's the same thing you're seeing.
Also scooped this guy up in a net earlier this summer. Much bigger and more silvery than the other things I've seen. Atlantic needlefish maybe? Small houndfish? (sorry the pic isn't very good - taken with my crappy cell phone cam)
