Let's talk about our target: the Greater Amberjack. These aren't your average reef dwellers. We're dealing with powerful, fast-swimming fish that can easily top 100 pounds. They've got a reputation for being one of the hardest-fighting fish in the ocean, and for good reason. When you're underwater, look for their distinctive olive-brown coloring with a silver-white belly. They often hang out in schools around reefs, wrecks, or any underwater structure.
Amberjack are curious by nature, which can work to your advantage – if you play it cool. They might come in for a closer look, giving you that perfect shot opportunity. But make no mistake, once they're hit, all bets are off. These fish will use every ounce of their strength to escape, often diving deep or wrapping around structure. It's this combination of size, strength, and fight that makes landing a Greater Amberjack such a prized accomplishment for spearos.
In Culebra, we see Amberjack year-round, but the biggest specimens tend to show up in the late fall and winter months. That's when the real monsters come out to play. Landing one of these during peak season? That's the kind of story you'll be telling for years.
Look, if you're reading this and thinking, "Yeah, this is my kind of challenge," then don't sleep on booking. This is a one-on-one trip with one of the best guides in Culebra, and spots fill up fast – especially during prime Amberjack season. Whether you're looking to land your personal best or just want to test your skills against one of the ocean's toughest opponents, this charter delivers. You'll come back with new skills, great stories, and if luck's on your side, some of the best-eating fish in the sea. So what are you waiting for? Grab your spot, and let's go hunt some Jacks!
Greater Amberjacks are real bruisers - these powerful fish can hit 6 feet long and put up a serious fight. We usually find them hanging around reefs and wrecks in deeper water, 100-300 feet down. Spring and early summer are prime time, when they're feeding aggressively before spawning. Anglers love targeting jacks for their sheer strength and stamina on the line. The meat's pretty good eating too, just be aware of ciguatera risk with the big ones. If you want to boost your chances, try slow-jigging metal lures near structure - the jacks can't resist that fluttering action. It takes some work, but landing a big amberjack is always satisfying. Just be ready for your arms to feel it the next day!
