Rob Magee and Jeff Eastman from Kansas, took a detour from the BBQ cook off at the Talladega Super Speedway to try some deep-sea fishing on the Distraction.   They caught and released fish till they were exhausted.

October 28, 2009 Fishing Report - Catch and Release Amberjack Fishing in Orange Beach, Alabama

Even though the Greater Amberjack fishery is closed this Fall and Winter, it has not stopped anglers from as far away as Kansas from coming to Orange Beach, Alabama enjoying a deep-sea fishing trip on the Distraction charter boat.   Today was a wonderful day for two National Barbeque Champions named Rob Magee and Jeff Eastman, to detour from the Talladega cook off scheduled this weekend, for a day on the water with Captain Troy and Lem.  Jeff and Rob love to fish but had no idea how much fun saltwater fishing could be.   The light tackle Amberjack fishing proved to be an exciting event.   

We used live bait to catch the 27 hungry Amberjack today.  Most of them were 22 to 29 inches in length and fought hard on the Shimano brand, light tackle gear we use.  One fish after another made these two anglers have to take several breaks between fishing reefs.

Fall and Winter is an excellent time to go out and catch these sport fish.  One thing for sure, If your looking for some action, Light Tackle Amberjack Fishing is sure to make you happy.
