Crevalle Jack

Caranx hippos

The crevalle is a common and widely recognized large jack species in sub-tropical waters, but is only a temporary visitor to Virginia and never abundant here. Adults are most common here offshore in summer, but juvenile jacks are more abundant here, found in late summer often along shallow protected beaches.
