Hard to tell, but think not
Hard to tell, but think not bronzy. Those eyes make me think spinner plus the shape tail.
Help others.
PS - Bronzy's eyes are set in colour usually

Bronzy
From what I can see it looks like a bronzy.
This is the time of the year that they are usually close inshore at night so would expect more pics of catches showing up on the site

Spinner (long nose grey) for
Spinner (long nose grey) for sure, juvenile bronzies are a bit stockier and have a shorter nose.
Can't really tell in the photo but spinners also usually have black tips on some of their fins

Hutchys got it
Long nose greys for me, have caught plenty off the beaches this time of year. As for it jumping every fish is different, I've had carp stingrays etc jump and had salmon fighting on the bottom all the way to the boat in 3m of water
