Crevalle Jack are closely related to Pompano, Permit, Amberjack and
other edible fishes, but they have ZERO food value. In my opinion,
these fish are pound for pound the best fighting fish that swims in
any water anywhere in the world. Period! Crevalle have voracious
appetites and will usually hit any moving object if they think it
won't eat them first. Whether you use spin, plug, or fly tackle for
jack you will experience a fight like nothing you've ever
experienced before. From hook-up to boat-side release these popular
fish will pull non-stop. Smaller fish to 8 pounds are available
throughout the year in all three lagoons. Larger fish ranging from
10 to 35 pounds are usually most abundant from late March through
early October.
Their spawning period of May through July is unquestionably the
best.
Gear ranging in size from 8 to 30-pound class is used most. You just
need to decide how much punishment you want to endure before
choosing a rod and reel combo to chase them with. The smaller fish
encountered inshore fight
best on 8 to 15-pound class gear and the larger ocean runners are
best with 15-pound class gear and above.
