Mullet head on the bottom or a big plug might stand out a little more. Shouldn't be too hard to get on the jacks though.
Walk slow, and carry a big Snook.

Big spoon or top water with one treble. Cast reel fight unhook repeat. I'd even go as far as pinching the barbs.
Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.

Re: Mullet run jacks.
Jacks don't ambush, they just swim around looking for bait, sometimes they show up and sometimes they don't, or be a mile away without you knowing it. They can stick around for a while or be gone in a minute, you just never know with them. For me it's fish I don't target, I catch them when the opportunity is there. I don't fish live or cut bait, only artificial, that said when jacks are busting they will hit anything, my most used lures are a topwater or a mirrorlure twitchbait and you can never go wrong with a spoon or a bucktail. I believe the bucktail will improve your chances of hooking up with other species too, like a snook. Don't over think it, if they are around your gonna get one.

Agreed, but no pinching barb though
