When to fish greater amberjack in France

• Spring 30–180 ft — Confirm the school on electronics and check live seasonal rules before targeting.
• Summer 20–220 ft — Keep the lure above marked fish and use tackle that shortens the fight in warm water.
• Fall 25–200 ft — Move with forage and do not infer a resident school from a static structure marker.
• Winter 70–300 ft — Most nearshore map sections offer little dependable winter opportunity.
