This epic fishing charter is fully focused on finding, hooking, and landing one of the toughest fish in the Gulf of Mexico, the Amberjack. These fish are famously stubborn fighters, known to many as "reef donkeys" for their orneriness and difficulty. Amberjack are big, aggressive predatory fish related to other jacks, jack mackerels, runners, and scads.

To hook one, you'll use a few different lure styles and baits—you can rely on Captain Jerry to make sure you have the right tackle to get big bites! You'll fight the fish from Captain Jerry's beautiful 31' Cape Horn center console, a hardy fishing machine that is built to tackle everything from inshore to offshore water. She's solid fiberglass, and is driven by twin Suzuki 300s, so you will be out on the best fishing areas in no time.

    Patrick was excellent, very friendly and good with my wife, 18 yr old son and 15 yr old daughter. He was able to read the water and put us on fish. Would recommend Patrick to anyone who is looking to catch fish.

    Ronald put us on fish right from the start. He was punctual and friendly and prepared. It was pretty obvious he was a seasoned Captain and fisherman. We wouldn’t hesitate to go out and fish with Ronald again.
