Cornish Jack

Cornish Jack (Mormyrops anguilloides) is a nocturnal schooling predator. Adults prefer deep and calm waters and tend to stay near boulders and other underwater barriers. A distinctive feature of this fish is its ability to generate a weak electrical discharge for the purpose of navigation, communication, and searching for prey. Its diet is predominantly fish and sometimes crustaceans. At night, these fish go hunting in small schools near rocky areas of the bottom about 20 m (65 feats) from their daytime dwelling spots. Although this is a nocturnal fish, you can successfully land one at sunrise and sunset. The Cornish Jack grows up to be 150 cm (60 inches) in length and weighs up to 15 kg (33 lb)!

If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Cornish Jack would be to use Shiners on a size #6/0 hook.

If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Flat Spoons.

The most successful lure is Silver Flat Spoon 28 g, #4/0.
