Q&A

What tackle and lures did you use?

I used a Shimano Saragosa 5000 reel with 30 lb braid and a Dark Matter IO Rod. For lures, I had success with Zman 5-inch diesel minnows and bad shad on a 2 oz Zman jig head.

Did you catch any other species of fish?

While targeting red fish and jack crevalle, I did encounter a variety of other species, including sharks and pelicans diving for baitfish.

How did you handle the fish after catching them?

I handle all fish with care and practice catch-and-release whenever possible. Larger fish, like red fish, are especially important to release, as they are important breeding stock.

What is the best time of year for this type of fishing?

The fall season is particularly great for targeting red fish and jack crevalle. They are more active and can often be found in large schools, making for an exciting fishing experience.

Can you eat jack crevalle?

While jack crevalle can be eaten, they are not highly desired for their taste. Most anglers prefer to release them so they can continue to be part of the ecosystem.
