When someone says I want to catch something that makes me hurt, we smile and say lets find a jack. Jacks are aggressive, accessible, large, tasty and, above all, true brutes of the seas. They can be caught year round in warm waters congregating around reefs, wrecks, and offshore structures at depths ranging from 60 to over 200 feet of water. We catch them on our half day ¾ day and full day trips.
