Paul Bush Jack Q Jack on Fly

January 24 2009

... Fished out of Stuart. Bluefish were nice and tight on the beach, got some on jigs and fly on light tackle, nice size. They look just like a large mouth bass when they jump, just don't lip them ... unless you only want to be able to count up to 9 (19 including toes, 18 if one gets into the boat and you can't move your piggys out the way fast enough). Spanish Mackerel were where they are supposed to be. Then we found the big daddy's ... the Jacks were extremely co-operative and let us get about 8 fish out the same school. Largest weighed was right on 37 lbs. Got 2 on fly rest on surface lures. All the fish were right on the 30 lb mark.
