Searching for Giant Amberjacks in the Gulf of Mexico - 4K

  • I heard reports of giant 100+lb amberjacks being caught by fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Tampa Bay. I got together with Scott, Drew, and Brian from Tampa Offshore Fishing and we went fishing 30+ miles offshore to several deep wrecks. All of the wrecks were super crowded with both commercial and recreational fishermen. We caught a few amberjacks before switching gears and going snapper fishing. I am still searching for that giant amberjack...

    In the Panhandle, how far out you are roughly equates to how big of an AJ you're going to catch haha. 10 miles for the 10 pounders, 20 miles for the 20 pounders and 80 miles to the rigs for the big boys.

I've watched it at least 12 times.Wanted to ask a question. Hopefully you're willing to answer it. Would you ever recommend buying an affordable rod under a hundred bucks when your on a budget? If so any suggestions?

    Did a lot of fishing for amberjack, tuna, wahoo, bull dolphin etc. in the Gulf of Mexico some years back. Used to use big Penn spinning reels and rods but found that for bigger fish that a stand up rod and level wind reel with a belt worked better. For bigger fish 30lbs +, the long spinning outfits are advantage fish.....stand up gear and belt is advantage angler especially if trying to keep fish away from an oil rig or bottom wreck. Surprising to see fishing shows on you tube using spinning gear.

    Lol I wish I was fishing in that weather. I'm a mate on a charter boat out of Delaware and we've been tog fishing in max 30 degrees. The other day it was a high of 17 degrees we were fishing and we had to put our crabs we were using as bait in the ice box because it was warmer in the ice box than it was outside. Boat was covered in ice. If I could show you a picture of the rods from running back to the dock I would. Great video

  • @redflametech

    • @someoneelse2262
      @someoneelse2262 6 років тому +12

      Totally agreed. Same for stripers on the East Coast... You wonder why hotel owners, gas stations, boat dealers, tackle shops, restaurants, etc don't all band together to say: hey, this fishery brings in tens of thousands of people. Why would you want to destroy it to sustain a few people for a couple of seasons until the stocks are gone? Makes no goddam sense to me.

    • @someoneelse2262
      @someoneelse2262 6 років тому +3

      How old are you? The size of fish are half what they were 30 years ago along the whole mid-Atlantic up to Maine and the numbers have completely crashed (though they have always been cyclical). Ask anybody who has been fishing these waters for a few decades. It's about the spawning grounds (pollution of rivers), the over-fishing of menhaden, and the commercial fishery.

    • @zackstark4768
