With September almost here, greater amberjack season is just on the horizon. With it comes 12-hour Amberjack Trips in which we visit the deep waters of the Gulf. We know all of the best spots to reel in greater amberjack, which is a blast to battle in the deep waters. Our crew at Wave Dancer Charters also knows all of the best spots to catch amazing fish that are in season, like the delicious and well-renowned red snapper.
So, Why the Greater Amberjack?
Trust us when we say, booking a trip at the right time of year to catch greater amberjack is an outstanding decision.
Greater amberjack are well known for their size, stamina, and strength, along with the challenge they present for fishermen and women of all levels. These delicious fish are on the sweet and firm side, and they can be blackened, baked, or grilled to perfection.
The 2026 greater amberjack season opens September 1 and is currently scheduled to remain open through October 13. As the season is short, it’s very important to book a trip ahead of time so you don’t miss out!
A Full Vacation for Your Family
Summer is the perfect time to visit Galveston, Texas, not only for fishing, but also all of the fun summer activities that are available.
During your visit, explore Moody Gardens, cool off at Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston, grab a delicious Funky Munky shaved Ice, play some putt-putt, or wander through Galveston’s historic museums and art galleries. Galveston is also home to the Historic Please Pier, which is well worth a visit.
Of course, there are plenty of amazing seafood restaurants to choose from, and Wave Dancer Charters even offers a “Catch and Cook” experience, where we clean the fillets for you after you catch them, and you then take your fish to a nearby restaurant for them to prepare it for you!
There is so much fun to be had in Galveston for the whole family!
