About Lesser Amberjack fishing
The smallest member of the Seriola genus, which includes well-known sport fish like the Greater Amberjack, Almaco Jack, and Yellowtail, the Lesser Amberjack (Seriola fasciata) is valued by anglers for their powerful strikes, deep-water challenge, and occasional presence in mixed-species catches.
Though often mistaken for their larger cousins, Lesser Amberjack can be identified by their proportionally larger eyes and distinctive dark band running from their snout through their eye. These fish are typically found in deeper waters and are popular among anglers due to their spirited fights, making for fun on light to medium tackle when bottom fishing or jigging.
How big?
As the smallest Amberjack family member, these fish generally reach lengths between 12 and 24 inches, weighing between 4 and 11 pounds. Some may grow bigger, though, and the maximum recorded size for this species was around 28 inches, weighing 26 pounds. That being said, the record catch weighed less than half of that at 12 pounds.
Distribution
Lesser Amberjack inhabit the western Atlantic Ocean, ranging from New England via Bermuda, down to Brazil. Their range covers the Gulf of Mexico/America and Caribbean Sea, where they swim in deep offshore waters. You'll most likely find them around shipwrecks, rocky ledges, and other underwater structures between 165–650 feet down, while juveniles may occasionally come closer to shore near debris.
How to Catch
Due to their deep-water habitat, Lesser Amberjack are primarily targeted using bottom-fishing techniques. You'll want to use light to medium tackle with live bait such as sardines, squid, or small fish to entice a bite. Vertical jigging with metal jigs is also an effective method, particularly around structures where these fish congregate.
Despite their relatively small size, Lesser Amberjack are strong fighters, making them an exciting challenge on light and heavy rods. They're most active during dawn and dusk, and are often caught while targeting other similar deep-water species like Almaco Jack or Greater Amberjack.
Good to eat?
While Lesser Amberjack are certainly edible, their reputation as table fare is mixed. The meat is firm and slightly oily, making it suitable for grilling, smoking, or frying. However, they're not as highly sought after as Greater Amberjack due to their smaller size and occasional gamey taste. Larger specimens, particularly in tropical regions, may also be poisonous, so exercise caution if consuming.
