Highlights of Greater Amberjack Fishing
Greater Amberjack fishing in Fort Walton Beach offers some of the Gulf's most exciting battles. These powerful fish inhabit offshore reefs, wrecks, and structure in 60-200 feet of water. Amberjack are aggressive feeders that strike live bait and jigs with incredible force, then dive hard toward structure. The 31-inch fish recently caught demonstrates the quality fishing available in our local waters.
Fort Walton Beach's location provides quick access to productive offshore grounds. The continental shelf drops off rapidly, creating the deep water habitat amberjack prefer. Spring through fall offers the most consistent action, with fish moving into shallower structure during warmer months.
