    Good trip with a good captain

    This was my gfs first trip and my 3rd we caught a lot of fish but only a couple were of legal limit nevertheless we had an amazing time we ended with 2lbs of red snapper and 2lbs of rainbow runner but we got to catch several other species of fish we appreciate the captain having patience with us as my gf was inexperienced with fishing and I for the first time was so nauseous I could barely stand we will definitely be back and hopefully less dolphin interference next time lol

    (4 Hour Trip – Gulf Reef Fishing - 10:00 AM)

    Great Father/Son Trip

    My son and I had abgreta time with Capt Chris. We set out to the gulf quickly and hit the fishing grounds right away. He had several spots scouted for us. We had a lot of success and very little down time. My son checked off several species of fish from his list. It was a great way to soend the afternoon while vacationing. We will be doing this again on our next trip.

    Incredible Fishing Trip.

    Despite the choppy waters, we had an incredible day fishing. Caught pkenty of Mahi and even a Wahoo as well as some Bonita and Yellowtail. Captain Vinny and First Mate Nick were very helpful and on top of everything. The fish were practically junping on the hooks. Will definitely book with them again.

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.

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.

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.

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.
