Get ready for an epic 24-hour Offshore adventure with Captains JT and Danny chasing the big boys like Marlin, Tile Fish, Grouper, and Tuna! You will launch from Freeport around 10 am aboard their one-of-a-kind sport fisher for a luxury seafaring experience. At 38 feet long and almost 14 feet wide, the vessel offers lots of shaded space, two AC systems, satellite TV and music, and a legendary hull design. Needless to say, you will be much more comfortable than on most other boats. It’s equipped with state-of-the-art electronics, safety equipment including a satellite phone, epirb, and 8 man life raft. The beautiful vessel is powered by twin 420 horsepower Yanmar diesel engines that are meticulously maintained by Captain JT. After Captain JT has cranked up the engines, you'll motor offshore a ways to spend the day bottom fishing for Grouper, Golden tile, Amberjack and whatever else emerges from the blue depths! When the bite slows down toward the afternoon, Captains JT and Danny will haul in the lines, and motor out a little deeper to the 80-110 mile range. While you get some much-needed R&R, they will get the boat into position for the Tuna bite early the next morning. The Tuna bite is usually on a couple of hours before sunrise, so after a couple of hours of sleep, you'll wake up around 4 am to start jigging for Tuna! This is one of the only times slots when big tuna come up from the deep to feed and they are usually swimming back down to deeper water by the time the sun comes up. So you'll jig until that sun comes up then troll around in the rest of the morning before you motor back in! In terms of gear, we will come fully equipped with all the premium bottom fishing rods and reels, Penn international bent butt trolling rod and reels, and two heavy-duty electric reels for deep dropping down 350+ feet. The navigation system has more than 3000 waypoints saved over the years so they can pinpoint these feeding grounds easily as well! Read More

What is amberjack in Hitchcock all about?

Amberjack are formidable gamefish found in the waters around Hitchcock, Texas, renowned for their strength and powerful fighting ability. These large, aggressive fish are known for their streamlined bodies, dark amber coloring, and prominent dorsal fin. Amberjack inhabit offshore reefs, wrecks, and oil rigs, where they feed on a variety of prey including small fish, squid, and crustaceans. Anglers in Hitchcock prize amberjack for their challenging fights and delicious flesh, making them a sought-after target for both recreational and commercial fishermen.

Fishing for amberjack in Hitchcock offers anglers the chance to experience the adrenaline rush of battling these hard-fighting fish. Amberjack are typically found in deeper offshore waters, making them accessible to anglers with boats capable of reaching these depths. One effective method for targeting amberjack is vertical jigging, where anglers drop heavy metal jigs to the bottom and then jig them up and down to mimic the movement of injured baitfish. This technique can be highly effective in enticing strikes from hungry amberjack and requires strong tackle to handle these powerful fish.

Another productive technique for targeting amberjack in Hitchcock is live bait fishing. Anglers use live baitfish such as blue runners, cigar minnows, or threadfin herring, rigged on heavy-duty tackle with circle hooks or jigs. Live bait fishing allows anglers to present a natural-looking bait to the fish and can result in explosive strikes from hungry amberjack. Whether jigging or live bait fishing, landing an amberjack is a rewarding experience for anglers in Hitchcock, as these fish provide thrilling fights and a tasty reward at the end of the day.

What are the most popular months to fish for amberjack in Hitchcock?

In Hitchcock, Texas, the presence and activity of amberjack follow seasonal patterns influenced by factors such as water temperature, bait availability, and migration patterns. Amberjack are most abundant and active during the warmer months of the year, typically from late spring through early fall.

Spring and summer are considered prime seasons for targeting amberjack in Hitchcock, as these periods coincide with the fish's peak feeding activity and migration patterns.

Vertical jigging and live bait fishing are effective techniques for targeting amberjack during these peak seasons, as these methods allow anglers to present baits or lures at various depths where amberjack are actively feeding.

While amberjack can be caught year-round in Hitchcock, understanding their seasonal movements and behavior can help anglers increase their chances of success. By adapting their fishing strategies to match the changing conditions and preferences of amberjack throughout the year, anglers can enjoy consistent and rewarding fishing experiences along the Texas Gulf Coast. Whether targeting amberjack during their peak seasons or exploring other fishing opportunities, Hitchcock remains a premier destination for anglers seeking thrilling angling adventures offshore.

What techniques are popular for catching amberjack in Hitchcock?

Fishing for amberjack in Hitchcock, Texas, requires anglers to employ specialized techniques to target these powerful and aggressive gamefish effectively.

This technique is particularly effective around offshore reefs, wrecks, and oil rigs where amberjack often congregate. Anglers must use stout tackle and strong braided line to handle the powerful strikes and fast runs of these hard-fighting fish.

Another productive technique for targeting amberjack in Hitchcock is live bait fishing. Anglers use live baitfish such as blue runners, cigar minnows, or threadfin herring rigged on heavy-duty tackle with circle hooks or jigs. Live bait fishing allows anglers to present a natural-looking bait to the fish and can result in explosive strikes from hungry amberjack. Anglers often drift or anchor near offshore structures and deploy live baits at various depths to entice amberjack to bite.

Trolling with diving plugs or deep-diving lures is also a viable technique for targeting amberjack in Hitchcock's offshore waters. Anglers troll at slow to moderate speeds, covering a large area and presenting their lures at various depths to entice strikes from amberjack patrolling the water column. This method is particularly effective around oil rigs and other offshore structures where amberjack are known to congregate. By employing a combination of these techniques, anglers can maximize their chances of hooking into amberjack and enjoying thrilling fishing experiences offshore in Hitchcock.

Using live bait such as cigar minnows or cut bait, as well as artificial lures like jigs and soft plastics, anglers can enjoy the thrill of hooking into these prized sportfish during the open seasons.

Another sought-after species in Hitchcock is the kingfish, also known as king mackerel, valued for its fast runs and aggressive strikes. These sleek and powerful fish can be found in nearshore and offshore waters along the Texas coast, particularly around oil rigs, jetties, and reefs. Anglers often target kingfish using a variety of techniques, including trolling with live bait or artificial lures, drifting with dead bait, or casting with lures from boats or piers.

    Want to give a big, "Thanks!" to Jonathan at Captain Experiences for hooking me and my family up with Captain Mike and Daisy out of Surfside Beach, TX. Captain Mike took us right where the fish were right off the bat on our first stop where we caught our limit of red snapper including a 32", 22 pounder! We were also able to "rescue" some king fish out of the water as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our time deep sea fishing and look forward to our next outing.
