Local Species Insights: Crevalle Jack
Crevalle jacks are aggressive predators that provide some of the most exciting light tackle action in South Padre Island waters. These powerful fish hunt in schools and are known for their explosive strikes and determined fights. They're particularly active during tide changes when baitfish are pushed through the channels and cuts.
