Key West fishing for Jack Crevalle
Jack Crevalle
Jacks are fun and hard fighting fish. When they are schooled
up, they can be easier to catch on fly. A plug or jig works
well too. They range from a few pounds up to 15 pounds and
can be found in deeper channels between flats or following
a sting ray.
 Jack
Crevalle : Caranx hippos
Crevalle Jack are found inshore around Key West and the Lower Keys as well as
in the open ocean. They are silver with a yellowish belly. They are curious and
will investigate any movement of a jig or plug lure. Crevalle Jacks like to ride
with large sharks or sting rays on the flats, picking up any food that may have
been churned up in the wake. They fight hard on both light tackle and on fly.
Although most jacks we catch on the flats are in the 5lb. range, there are larger
ones mixed in up to 20lbs.
