The blue runner (Caranx crysos) is also called hard tail jack, yellow jack, yellow mackerel and just runner. They are great bait for larger fish and are very hardy in the baitwell. They commonly grow to 12-14 inches so they are popular for using to target large species such as King Mackerel.
The most common way to catch them is with a sabiki jig. Slowly jig these around a wreck, on the edge of hard bottom, or around marker buoys.
