Jack Crevalle
Charleston's inshore waters offer a unique opportunity to tangle with Jack Crevalle, a species not always associated with the Carolinas. The creeks and estuaries surrounding Charleston teem with life and provide excellent habitat. While not as abundant as in South Florida, dedicated anglers can find success, particularly during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Focus your efforts around structure like docks, oyster beds, and creek mouths. Jacks here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures and baits can be effective. Try casting topwater lures early and late in the day, or use live shrimp or mullet under a popping cork. Access is easy from numerous public boat ramps around Charleston Harbor. A useful tip: check local fishing reports for recent sightings, as their movements can be somewhat unpredictable. These jacks are typically smaller than their southern cousins, but they still pack a punch!
