Anglers targeting amberjack in New Smyrna Beach often employ a variety of techniques to entice strikes. One effective method is bottom fishing with live bait such as pinfish, blue runners, or squid. Anglers typically anchor up over known amberjack hotspots and drop down baits to the desired depth using heavy tackle. Additionally, vertical jigging with heavy metal jigs or butterfly jigs can also be productive for targeting these powerful fish, particularly when they are holding deep or suspended in the water column.

When hooked, amberjack are known for their bulldog-like fights, often making powerful runs and stubbornly resisting attempts to bring them to the surface.

What are the most popular months to fish for amberjack fishing in New Smyrna Beach?

Spring and summer are typically prime seasons for amberjack fishing in New Smyrna Beach, as warmer water temperatures stimulate their activity and trigger their feeding instincts. During these months, amberjack are commonly found in offshore waters, particularly near wrecks, reefs, and other underwater structures, where they feed aggressively on baitfish and squid.

Fall can also be a productive season for amberjack fishing in New Smyrna Beach, as cooling water temperatures prompt these fish to feed voraciously in preparation for winter. Anglers targeting amberjack during the fall months may find success in similar offshore areas as during the spring and summer, particularly around known hotspots where these fish congregate. However, as winter approaches and water temperatures drop, amberjack may become less active and move to deeper waters or migrate to warmer areas along the coast.

While amberjack can be encountered year-round in New Smyrna Beach, anglers may experience fluctuations in their abundance and behavior based on factors such as water temperature, bait availability, and weather patterns. By understanding the seasonal trends and adjusting their tactics accordingly, anglers can maximize their chances of success when targeting amberjack in the offshore waters off New Smyrna Beach.

What techniques are popular for catching amberjack in New Smyrna Beach?

In New Smyrna Beach, Florida, anglers employ various techniques to target amberjack, taking advantage of their voracious appetite and aggressive feeding behavior. One effective method for catching amberjack is bottom fishing with live bait such as pinfish, blue runners, or squid. Anglers typically anchor up over known amberjack hotspots, such as wrecks or reefs, and drop down baits to the desired depth using heavy tackle. The key is to present the bait close to the structure where amberjack are likely to be holding, enticing them to strike.

Another productive technique for targeting amberjack in New Smyrna Beach is vertical jigging with heavy metal jigs or butterfly jigs. This method involves dropping the jig vertically to the desired depth and then jerking it upwards in a jigging motion to imitate the movement of wounded baitfish. Amberjack are often attracted to the rapid movements of the jig and will aggressively strike as it flutters back down through the water column. Vertical jigging is particularly effective when targeting suspended or deep-dwelling amberjack.

When targeting amberjack in New Smyrna Beach, it's important for anglers to use heavy tackle and strong leaders to handle the strength and stamina of these powerful fish.

With the right techniques and gear, anglers can enjoy thrilling battles and reel in impressive catches of amberjack in the offshore waters off New Smyrna Beach.

    Wow!! IF YOU WANT TO GO SEA FISHING YOU HAVE TO GO WITH CAPTAIN NICK!!! So we turned up to a pretty chilly and windy meeting spot, thinking why hasn’t this been postponed to another day, surely we can’t got out in this weather. How wrong we were. Captain Nick arrived early assured us we would be fine and we would be fishing the river and not going out to the ocean, but he was pretty sure we would still catch some fish. When we started fishing within the 1st half hour we had caught 2 huge fish , the rest of the afternoon was spent tracking fish and catching them. Captain Nick and his mate answered all questions that were asked of them, their knowledge of the area and their love of fishing was clearly evident. They made this fishing trip, one that a 12 year old kid from England will remember forever. Thankyou Captain Nick for the experience

    Clive J. with Nick S. of Port Orange, Florida
