Amberjack 2010

[GandyGirl]

Recreational Amberjack season will remain open until the end of 2010. NOAA predicts that greater amberjack landings are unlikely to exceed the 2010 adjusted quota prior to the end of the recreational fishing year. The 2011 quota will be released on the first of the year, so fishermen will be able to target greater amberjack this winter uninterrupted.

Well, you can target them year around, you just can't keep them except during their season. We never keep reef donkeys around here, in SC. Everyone i've ever cut open was full of worms. I don't eat meat with worms.

I'd say, you've got the best of a reef donkey during the fight. They are a tough fish, and great for catch and release. []

Moral of the story, don't stop fishing because you can't keep a donkey; you can still catch them.
