    Cap’n Aaron knows his stuff!

    we had a great trip fishing today! I told him we really wanted to catch some Mahi. He lwt me know they are there but usually May-June is the best time. Right off the bat he put us right on top of Mahi! Then he took us to where the Amber Jack were all over the top of the water! My son and I had a great day! His boat and tackle were very clean and he and his crew were very polite and made the experience that much more enjoyable!

    Great trip

    Capt Jeff put us on fish early and often. We wanted a variety, and he definitely provided that. Bottom fishing, trolling, and even some Mahi. Would book again.

    Whatever it takes!

    The dolphins kept finding us but captain and 1st mate knew enough spots and were willing to do whatever it takes to make sure we made the most of it! Had a great time, caught lots of fish, had some good fights we can only imagine how big they might of been and got to take a handful home! We loved every second of it and cant wait for next time!!!

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.
