Nice catches Shawn, just don't kill yourself on all those rocks your walking on. Be careful in those places.

Can you share the location I am a beginner fisher who would love to learn how to fish.

Those Jacks are always an adrenaline rush to hook into. Even better when you can see them crashing bait & then catching up to your offering_they're so quick! They tend to be quite vocal as well with grunting & clicking. The images you submitted show what it is all about...smiling faces.

Might I suggest you bring yourself to any local area where fishing is a popular activity and spend some time watching what the individuals involved in it are doing to give yourself some basic knowledge of the how and the what to do. I am sure most of the people who you would encounter at such locations would be willing to share a bit of whatever it is they think they know about the subject with you. Sometimes you don't even need to ask, it just tends to spill out. Please remember to be aware of your position amongst this crowd so you don't end up with any unexpected new piercings from hooks or lures being used. That means, stay out of the casting area(similar to the backswing region of a golfer) so as not to become an unwanted obstacle for the fishing folks you are trying to observe and learn from. Be respectful of gear & equipment that is not yours(look but don't touch). A polite question should go a long way to earn you some valuable "local" insight regardless of where you may be. Part of the attraction is knowing there's always something new to learn with each new outing. Remember, we all began our journey to becoming fishermen/women from the same place...as complete novices.

One very important point I'd like you to abide by at all times and in all locations is to never leave any discarded material on or in any waterbody or any shoreline. Whatever you brought along when you arrived, make sure you take it with you when you leave. Even better is to pick up anything you may encounter on your fishing adventures so it is not left to spoil the experience for anyone who comes along after you. Anyone who carelessly ignores the importance of keeping the outdoor environment clean gives the rest of us who respect the outdoors a bad name.
Here's to hoping you will find fishing to be a fun hobby and that you continue to enjoy it for all your remaining days.

Have Fun & Enjoy!
