How to use this ranking
The order is a map-planning ranking, not a claim about today's fish population. It favors larger mapped waters and gives survey-backed contours a three-times data-quality boost. Agency population surveys, current regulations, access and recent conditions should make the final decision.

When to fish jack crevalle in U.S. Virgin Islands
- Spring 2–25 ft — Watch for birds, nervous bait and pushing water; cast beyond the school and retrieve through its outer edge.
- Summer 3–35 ft — Search moving water around harbor mouths, piers and reef edges; use stout tackle and avoid casting through resting schools.
- Fall 2–30 ft — Follow bait along points and pass approaches; active schools move quickly, so relocate when surface evidence disappears.
- Winter 5–35 ft — Probe deeper harbor and reef edges during stable weather, but let visible bait or birds confirm the location.
