I caught the strangest fish Friday . . .
. . . while using a 4 1/2 foot spinning rod and fishing for snapper blues, besides catching snappers I was catching schoolies, about a 1:10 ratio, along with some needlefish, and much to my surprise, I caught two small Jack Crevalle's. I was fishing about a mile from Vineyard sound in one of Falmouth's saltwater ponds/bays.
Now in August of 2000, my father caught a 10-12 lb Jack Crevalle while we were fishing for stripers/bluefish among a bunch of rockpiles along the Elizabeths. At first we thought it was a butterfish but the tail was different and had the hard-tail, much like the bonito/albacore has, and the tips of the fins were very yellow and it croaked much like a sea robin while it was out of the water. right at our feet and below the dock, as we jigged our tiny kastmasters they could be seen swarming our lures in about 2-3 feet of water.
I was out Saturday, well into Saturday night, trying all my usual spots and no bonito or big basses, just bluefish. The water temp everywhere we had gone, northside/eastside MV rips, Woods Hole/Naushon northside was 69 degrees, the "storm" and rain did very little to cool the water down, so while the season started late, it looks like it will end late and with all the heat on the way, summer won't quit.

I too caught a small Jack Crevalle in one of the Falmouth ponds, but this was back in 96 or so - hit a chartreuse clouser and fought really well for the size of it.

at a ramp on the cape just today, a guy was telling me of a kid using a sabiki rig and getting baby jacks in centerville river. I bet someone will catch a cobia near the islands soon too.
Those jack crevalles fight better than bluefish, strong fish.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I caught a couple of trigger fish while sea bassing about two weeks ago, they are very common at this time of year.
