The amberjack is such a
strong, stubborn fighting
fish. They will hit a lure
near the surface;
however, they will make a strong run for the bottom.
Amberjack will grow to sizes of 150 pounds or more, but
most fish are usually caught in the 20 to 50 pound range.
These fish are found throughout the Carolinas down to
Florida and also in the Gulf Coast.
Catching Amberjack
Amberjack are often caught by trolling with small to
medium-sized lures. Spoons, jigs and feather jigs are all
effective for catching amberjack. Natural baits are also
effective with the top baits being mullet and balao.
