They inhabit the grass flats, canals, bays and river systems across Florida. I enjoy using top water plugs for trout since nothing beats a top water hit. I use barbless hooks when fishing for trout since they are delicate fish. This insures a safe catch and release. Trout are a good eating fish especially when deep-fried.
Jacks are pound per pound the strongest fish inshore.
They school in the summer months and can be found almost anywhere. We catch them on live and artificial baits. Jacks will attack smaller schools of bait from the surface. The surface briefly erupts in an area about 30 feet in diameter. Jacks are also fun to catch on the fly rod but are poor table fare.
