<p>Amberjack fishing is about raw power and steady pressure. Amberjacks are prized game fish that live around reefs and wrecks in warm, deep water. They hit hard, dive for structure, and keep the rod bent. Anglers target them for the nonstop fight and the chance to land a true heavyweight.</p><p>You can catch Amberjack by reef fishing, offshore fishing, or deep sea fishing over wrecks and ledges. Bottom fishing with sturdy tackle and live bait works very well. Vertical jigging is also deadly. Drop a metal jig to the bottom, then rip it up fast to trigger a strike. When fish rise, popping or trolling large plugs can draw explosive bites.</p><p>Expect a tough, vertical battle and long runs toward the bottom. A belt or harness helps during the fight. Heavy rods, strong leaders, and sharp hooks are standard for Amberjack fishing. This trip suits anglers who want a serious test, but first-timers can succeed with clear guidance. Bring sun protection, polarized glasses, non-slip shoes, snacks, and water. Offshore seas can be choppy, so plan for motion comfort if needed.</p><p>Before you go, check local rules where you fish. Confirm fishing license and permit needs for your group. Review current seasons, size limits, and bag limits for Amberjack. Ask your captain about any area closures and general harvest guidance in your location.</p>

<blockquote>
	<p>
		<em>Amberjacks are the largest fish of the Carrangidae family (which includes Jacks and Trevallies) and are widely targeted for their hard fighting game qualities. Big and powerful, these fish strike fast, pull hard and do deep and forceful dives to the bottom.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>
	This species mostly inhabits reefs and wrecks from 60 to 240ft deep, but can often be found around floating objects and near the surface. Amberjacks have been caught inshore in Florida as well. Young ones move in schools, but older fish are mostly loners.</p>
<h2>
	How big</h2>
<p>
	Amberjacks have an elongated body that can grow to about 6ft and 160lbs. The average catch will be between 20 and 40lbs though, but, depending on where and when you target them, larger fish can be a commodity. They live around 17 years and mature at 4-5.</p>
<p>
	<img alt="Three men holding up a huge Amberjack on a boat on the open sea" src="https://fishingbooker.com/img/fish/content/75985-901c6b18aef52f1c7b5973ec3976f01f--2-.jpg" /></p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
	<em>Catching a small Amberjack is a challenge. One that the crew of <a href="https://fishingbooker.com/charters/view/709">Elias II</a> out of <a href="https://fishingbooker.com/destinations/country/cv">Cape Verde</a> can&#39;t seem to accept</em></h5>
<h2>
	When &amp; Where</h2>
<p>
	This species can be found in tropical and warm temperate waters <strong>worldwide</strong>, including:&nbsp;the <strong>Indo-Pacific</strong> - around Madagascar, in the Persian Gulf, around south Japan (where the record fish was recently caught), China and the Philippines; around Hawaii; in the <strong>western Atlantic from Nova Scotia to Brazil</strong>, including the <strong>Gulf of Mexico</strong>, <a href="https://fishingbooker.com/charters/search/bm"><strong>Bermuda</strong></a> and the <strong>Caribbean Sea</strong>; in the <strong>eastern Atlantic from the British isles to Morocco</strong> and in parts of the <strong>Mediterranean Sea</strong>, but also off southern and western <strong>Africa</strong>. They&#39;re replaced by&nbsp;<a href="https://fishingbooker.com/fish/yellowtail-amberjack">Yellowtail Amberjacks</a>&nbsp;off <strong>Australia</strong> and <strong>California</strong>.</p>
<p>
	The warmer the waters, the more AJs around, with <a href="https://fishingbooker.com/charters/search/us/FL?search_location=miami"><strong>Miami</strong></a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://fishingbooker.com/charters/search/us/FL?search_location=key-west"><strong>the Keys</strong></a> being perfectly positioned to be a <em>year-round</em> fishery in the USA. Fishing farther up north along the&nbsp;<strong>Atlantic coast and the Gulf coast</strong>&nbsp;will be the most productive&nbsp;<em>early spring through the end of May</em>.</p>
<h2>
	How to catch</h2>
<p>
	Amberjacks are opportunistic feeders that will go for most any type of bait (live, dead, strip, plugs, jigs, spoons, flies) as long as it&#39;s presented well.</p>
<p>
	If located around deep reefs, dropping down some speedo mackerel (or other bigger live baitfish) in approach from the downcurrent side will work great, as will deep vertical jigging coming from the upcurrent side - change the depth frequently until a strike occurs.</p>
<p>
	If you want to get the fish closer to the surface, you should tease them with live bait tied to a line with no hook. When they come up, either fast trolling or using large,&nbsp;noisy, poppers or surface plugs will get you a bite.</p>
<p>
	<img alt="Two people holding up a big Amberjack on a boat on the open sea" src="https://fishingbooker.com/img/fish/content/3b26e-b8ba61c4db50bf342c873fae4e546d8c--2-.jpg" /></p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
	<em>This is a regular reef donkey right here.</em></h5>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Amberjacks usually hook themselves, so setting the hook is mostly not necessary. Once they&#39;ve got the bait, you should allow the initial run, but as soon as it&#39;s over, they will make a dash for the bottom, where the line can easily get cut on the structure. When boated, it&#39;s common that other Amberjacks follow up.</p>
<h2>
	Good to eat?</h2>
<p>
	Lean, firm and white meat with mild taste. However, Amberjacks are highly ranked among tropical fish species known to cause ciguatera (fish poisoning). Bigger fish should be released as a precaution.</p>
