Jigging Azores Islands

The Azores are well known among big game fishermen, but in the last years their potential as a jigging and popping destination has been revealed. The islands offer a stable climate throughout the summer and very short access routes to the fishing spots. Popping is restricted to Bigeye Tunas and Bluefin Tunas. However when jigging you can catch a rich array of fish: big Amberjack and various species of Grouper being the main target.
