Greater
amberjacks can bend rods and break tackle, so be sure to bring some heavy artillery with you.
The fish identified in the outbreaks to date are large
amberjacks, large yellow jacks (larger than 20lbs), barracuda and grey snapper.
We used BreakDancer-1.1 under GPLv3 [32], which provides genome-wide detection of structural variants from next generation paired-end sequencing reads, with the default parameters to detect insertions/deletions, inversion, and translocations in the pair-end resequenced data of the 20 greater
amberjacks. The whole-genome resequenced assembly files were saved in Bam file format.
The announcement came following news reports earlier this week that
amberjacks had been found dead on the Larnaca seabed by divers.

On the bottom, around reefs and especially wrecks, you'll be able to tie into large
amberjacks which can reach 100 pounds.
FEARS of poisoned
amberjacks have come to be added on the increasing list of health fears which riddle local news.
Their logs include lots of dolphin, big
amberjacks, gag grouper and red snapper (the latter must be released).
Depths beyond 125 feet will also produce some monster gag and red grouper, scamp, big vermilion, lane, and mangrove snapper, gray triggerfish, and greater
amberjacks. AJ season closes the end of October in Gulf state waters.
Frisky live baits are one of the best ways to tempt
amberjacks. These can be pinfish, Spanish sardines, menhaden, blue runners or any other live baitfish.
However, both lesser
amberjack and greater
amberjack juveniles can also be banded, and banded rudderfish have different fishing regulations (size limit, bag limit, closed season) than greater
amberjacks.
I've caught snappers, blackfin tuna,
amberjacks, kingfish, and just recently a surprise sailfish.
