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 which are teasered to the boat while trolling. However when jigging you can catch a rich array of fish: big Amberjack and various species of Grouper being the main target.
