I shallow water an other trick they do is jump and at one of are wrecks we have even had them jump in the boat fun to see how fast anglers can move to get out of the way of teeth. \u00a0Small ones are very good shark bait but now I like to put all big ones back they are just so much fun on light lure rods.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCN1182.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2088\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/?attachment_id=2088\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCN1182.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,414\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Picasa&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;COOLPIX P500&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1340404848&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSCN1182\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCN1182-300x155.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCN1182.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2088\" alt=\"DSCN1182\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCN1182.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCN1182.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCN1182-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The other predator that just nails any lure is the bully boy of the Keys the jack crevelle these guys are not fussy and hunt in packs pushing bait fish to places for an easy kill. \u00a0I still remember the day we found over 100 jacks in a feeding frenzy near Bahia Honda the guys that day were even casting poppers away from them just to watch fish surfing to get the lures. \u00a0On an other day during an other feeding frenzy we even had two jacks on the same lure as the other jack was trying to get the bait out of the first fishes mouth strange but true.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCF1184.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2089\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/?attachment_id=2089\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCF1184.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"648,800\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Picasa&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FinePix S1500&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1306331049&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.9&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;64&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSCF1184\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCF1184-243x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCF1184.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2089\" alt=\"DSCF1184\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCF1184.jpg\" width=\"648\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCF1184.jpg 648w, http:\/\/www.fishthedream.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DSCF1184-243x300.jpg 243w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So if you are a lure fisherman who wants some full on action get in touch, remeber if there are not four of you I will try to make up a party and out of tarpon season will give you a good discount.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The one thing this old Luddite likes about all the new web stuff is my ability to see where visitors to this website come from and I have to say we have a lot of guys from the emerald isle.
