Hard-pulling reef jack closely related to kingfish, found over deep reefs and structure off NSW and QLD. Targeted with live baits, jigs and large soft plastics in 40-200m. Big amberjack are brutal fighters — they head straight for the reef and rarely give an inch.
Generally fished with heavy tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
