Full house, Jacks over ladies

It was a calm with overcast skies last night, perfect weather for jack fishing.  While most people consider jacks and ladyfish nothing but trash, on appropriate tackle they they are extremely fun.  Jacks travel in schools so when you catch one you can be almost certain that there are others.  Many people say that pound for pound the Jack Crevalle is the hardest fighting fish in the water.  I won't deny it.

Last night I landed three small jacks and a pair of very aerial ladyfish.  All were caught on live shrimp free-lined into the slow current.  Weather permitting I'll be back out there tonight.  Hopefully with a few more shrimp!
