I haven’t done ANY research on jack crevalle so just a thought for others to weigh in on. Known for being in the lake late summer? Why? Because that’s when the water is warm and salty. I think of jacks as a beachfront type species. With the lake being basically fresh right now (see rigolets usgs salinity gauge), I wouldn’t bother looking for them in the lake.
If you want to get your line tugged, big fish are still close to the dock though – look for deep water and current, slap on a chunk of dead fish, cracked crab, etc., and you’ve got a shot at bull reds, drum, big gar, maybe bull sharks. The rigolets itself can be a spot for this depending on tide (want movement but not screaming).
