Local Species Insights: Crevalle Jack

The Crevalle Jack is one of Miami's most exciting gamefish, known for its powerful runs and relentless fighting spirit. These fish thrive in Miami's inshore waters, particularly around structural elements like bridges, jetties, and channel edges where bait concentrates. Captain Alek targets them using both live bait and artificial lures, working the water column thoroughly to locate these aggressive predators.

Fall in Miami is prime time for Crevalle Jack fishing, as water temperatures remain ideal and baitfish are abundant. These fish respond well to fast retrieves and erratic presentations that mimic injured prey. When hooked, expect strong initial runs that will test your equipment and technique—these fish punch well above their weight class in terms of fighting ability, which is why they're such a popular target for Miami inshore fishing trips.

Our vessel is fully equipped with safety gear, fishing licenses, quality rods and reels, and all necessary terminal tackle.
