Jack Crevalle are a very
popular species for inshore
anglers. They can be found
inshore and offshore. These
fish are extremely powerful
and capable of making long runs one after another.
Their average size ranges from 2 to 5 pounds, but in
most areas fish up to 10 pounds are plentiful. Some
people eat these fish, but most people would rate them as
poor-tasting.
Catching Jack Crevalle
Catching jacks can be a lot of fun, especially on lighter,
spinning tackle. They will eat almost all natural baits
whether they are dead or alive, but the bigger fish like
fresh, live bait. They can be found in coastal rivers, near
major inlets and on deep reefs and wrecks offshore.
Most of your bigger jack crevalle will come out of the
deeper offshore reefs and wrecks, but you can still have
a blast catching many fish in the 5 pound range and
some bigger fish in the coastal rivers.
