We spent 15 minutes on the phone with Capt. Tucker Blythe to discuss popping top water soft baits for Amberjack with the Hogy HDUV Jiggin' Eel Tails off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. Here's what we learned...  Location: Offshore Charleston, SC Approach: What I look for when Amberjack fishing is a combination of the right water temperature and high profile structure. South Carolina is littered with artificial reefs and wrecks in all different water depths. In the Spring and Fall, Amberjacks will move into more shallow water in search for food.

Approach: These cobia can be located on shipping container buoys (around 12 miles...

We spent 15 minutes on the phone with Capt. Tucker Blythe to discuss fishing for red fish with the Hogy 7-inch Originals in Charleston, South Carolina. Here's what we found out...  Capt.
