Florida Jack Cravalle

Spent a week in St Augustine last month, two of those days with a local guide. Fished the mornings in the marshes, chasing redfish amongst the oyster reefs. The afternoon found us several hundred yards off the beachfront where I hooked up with this jack..........whoa! Around 30# or so, spent the better part of half an hour to bring him to heel. Diawa Steez 3012 spinning reel spooled with 10# McCoy, 15# Yozuri fluoro leader on a St Croix medium action rod (reel's mine, rod furnished by the guide). And, as you can see, this fish fell to a Buggs Hydra Bugg jig, a most excellent bait!
