You definitely can eat jacks. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten one. They do tend to have worms but so do most other fish. One day I might do a catch clean and cook on a small jack just to try it. I’m sure they will be good I’ve seen people eat them.
Thank you I’ll keep them coming. I’m having so much fun making these videos and I’m glad you enjoy watching them. Thank you for the positive feedback I really appreciate that.
Great advice thank you. I found after a boot does that to me I never wear it again. These KALKAL boots are super comfortable and they are my go to boots now.
Thanks Mickey I really enjoy catching jacks. They are probably the best fighting fish pound for pound we have inshore. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I guess I’m gonna have to give it a try. Next time I’m out I’ll keep a smaller one and clean it and try eating one. I’m going to call you out on that video though so I hope it’s good. Lol keep an eye open because I’m going to make it happen soon. Thanks for watching and commenting I really appreciate it.
Great catches! I agree with you about Jacks, they’re great gamefish but get a lot of undeserved hate from some anglers. I’ve heard people who hate Jacks later tell me that GTs (Giant Trevally) are on their bucket list to go catch one day. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to go catch a GT some day but I have no problem with “GT at home” too
I would love to catch a GT. I watch the CAST UA-cam channel and that guy is a beast catching those GTs on the Great Barrier Reef. The biggest jacks I’ve seen here were in fort pierce and they were monsters. Thanks for watching and commenting i really appreciate it.
Thank you. I use whatever shrimp they have available at the bait shop some are white some have more of a red tint. I try to hook it as close the the horn in the front of the head as possible depending on hook size. I typically run 1/0 to 2/0 Owner hooks for live shrimp. That dark spot in the shrimp is the brain so you want to go in front or behind it so you don’t kill the shrimp. Sometimes I hook the shrimp in the tail and it will swim away from you and go under mangrove’s and low docks. If I’m going to do a slow retrieve I’ll hook in the head to give a much more realistic swimming action. Another thing is to break the shrimps horn off so it doesn’t block the fishes mouth from the hook. Thanks for watching and replying I hope this helps you out.
I know we checked the next day and saw they were in I probably would’ve kept 2 if I would have known but it’s good to watch them swim away and grow to. They are biting real good in grant but the bite here in Melbourne is slow nothing but jacks and lady fish.
@@centralfloridafisherman9931 im up by edgewater do a bunch of fishing from there down and over by scottsmoor on the irl side. lots of reds and trout around right now were finding them like you were in the deeper drop offs, even if not truly deep any depth deeper then the majority seems to be pretty good right now! Also alota bends in the creeks where the current has washed out the sand or and east to west facing channels or creek systems have been good to for the specks too. Time consuming finding or running hole to hole but when you find them they stacked in super thick ton of 15-19” and a few 23” mixed in the bunch.
Thank you. I haven’t fished up there in a little while but I do have plans on fishing up there here in the next month or two. I used to slay the redfish up there and we did alot of shrimping up that way. Thank you for watching and commenting I really appreciate it.
I use owner j hooks. I will on occasion use circle hooks all depends on what I’m feeling that day. Sometimes I just like setting the hook. If I’m fishing large baits for snook tarpon and sharks it’s mostly always a circle hook.
I watched a video a couple years ago and you can eat the small jacks,the guys that caught them cooked them on a grill if I remember right!

Always enjoy watching your videos Chad. Keep bringin' 'em!

Try a piece of KT tape and wear them on your heel to prevent blistering.
Great advice thank you. I found after a boot does that to me I never wear it again. These KALKAL boots are super comfortable and they are my go to boots now.
Hi Chad, You guys caught a bunch of Trout and Jacks. Personally, I love to catch Jacks. They give a great fight. Take care and have fun, Mickey

Hi Chad, I always enjoy your videos. Thanks, Mickey

nice jack that you caught, quick question, you used a white shrimp right? and entered the hook behind the dark spot? thanks

No 4 days ago
I struggled right before the new year. Just started heading south and the bite is way better
i just assumed because you said the specks werent in season but thats just nov 1st-dec 31st

Very nice video. I'm new to your channel. Do you ever fish Titusville Haulover area?
Thank you. I haven’t fished up there in a little while but I do have plans on fishing up there here in the next month or two. I used to slay the redfish up there and we did alot of shrimping up that way. Thank you for watching and commenting I really appreciate it.
