Jack Crevelle are everyone’s favorite.
Fly fishing is starting to cook and these Jack Crevelle are everyone’s favorite. They’re active in Sarasota Bay during April and May, often schooling near the surface, feeding on baitfish, and targeting areas like oyster bars, seawalls, and inlets.
They are best caught using fast-retrieved topwater lures, poppers, or jigs. Early morning topwater action is most productive, and these strong, fast-moving fish are often found where birds are diving.
Look for schools in backwater areas, near seawalls, and along oyster bars, particularly in the morning. Big Jacks patrol passes and beaches, often feeding on mullet or sardines. Watch for diving birds, nervous baitfish on the surface, or “sweeping” water caused by feeding schools.
Spring warming triggers activity, but they are often present during warm, breezy days.
I've been a fishing guide the Sarasota , Boca Grande area for over 25 years. My Sarasota trips are mostly family oriented 1/2 day fishing trips involving kids who love to catch all the family fun fish. My Boca Grande trips are for the more experienced spin or fly fishing angler.
