“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.”
You know, I used to think the same thing. I did a good bit of research a few years ago and they can tolerate a shockingly low salinity. They were THICK in the lake last year around late June/early July, the salinity meter at highway 90 was only reading 2-5 ppt so the lake was likely pretty fresh. I remember reading a report about one getting its way all the way over to Lake Okeechobee which is just wild but it is connected to both the gulf and Atlantic by canals.
