RE: amberjack
big hardtail, big hook, long leader, big egg weight, + lots of drag= big amberjack. downsize for smaller jacks
fish big wrecks and rigs. they like structure up the water column. a hardtail also known as a blue runner. |

RE: amberjack
Try jigging on the wrecks or rigs to the west. You will have more fun jigging for them, or at least I do.

RE: amberjack
Get some williamsons, braid, shimano or any other brand vertical jigs from your local shop. Tell them you want to catch AJ's and how far out to determine size and weight of jig. I don't know where you live/work but I've got a bunch of them on sale here in Orange Beach. Either way most local shops should have a broad assortment of jigs to choose from.

RE: amberjack
Also go to www.shimano.com and watch their vertical jigging video and then you will know what we are talking about. Where are you fishing out of?

RE: amberjack
My personal favorite way is with a steel shaft. But most folks love jigging them up. For big AJ's, drop down big, big, bait.
