The Crevalle Jack is characterized by his near football shaped body, a blunt head, mostly white with a slightly darker upper and yellowing flares down its flanks and underside, leading to a curved forked tail. On the gill cover, a spot is present just foreward of a long sweeping pectoral fin.
These fish are found in almost all of Florida coastal waters. Ranging from up rivers and streams all the way out to the deep open water.
Live baitfish is the best, but this is not a picky fish, taking shrimp, baitfish and virtually all natural baits, while fast worked topwater plugs, jigs and poppers make the best artificial bait.
