I caught these Jack Crevalle at Sebastian Inlet in Florida (here is a webcam of the location).  My dad and I had caught some live finger mullet with a cast net in the Banana River and decided to make the hour and half run to Sebastian to try our luck.  The date was late 1996.

We were anchored inshore from the bridge on an out going tide.  We were rigged on large spinning rods with 20 pound monofilament, 2oz egg sinker, swivel, 3 foot 80 pound test monofilament leader, size 1/0 circle hooks.  The mullet were hooked from underneath the mouth and through the top of the bony head. 

We caught 4 fish.  The largest being the one on the left that went about 20 pounds.  (I don't do justice to the glory shot.  I am 6'10").  The big one took a good 10 minutes to reel in and went on several extended runs...

Jacks are a lot of fun to catch, but most do not eat them.  The flesh is very bony and fishy.

For trout, nightcrawlers and synthetic bait are showing good results. For......
