possibly sea trout, if so you cant fish for them on the east coast, i think the are protected species, deffo need licence and tags to catch them in other areas

its probably sea trout they do jump there but chances are you wont catch them on bait you need to use lures to get them, also its possible it was sea bass or mullet as both of these swim there and do jump from the water
