King Mackerel
Targeting King Mackerel off the coast of Bowers, Delaware offers a thrilling saltwater experience. The Delaware Bay and nearby Atlantic waters provide the primary habitat for these speedy predators. The late summer and early fall months are prime time as the water warms and Kings move closer to shore, following schools of baitfish. Trolling with live bait like bluefish or spot is a highly effective method. Look for areas with structure like reefs or wrecks, as these often hold bait and attract King Mackerel. A practical tip: the Bowers Beach boat ramp is a popular access point, but can get crowded on weekends, so plan accordingly. Also, be mindful of strong currents and changing weather conditions, which can impact your fishing success and safety. The King Mackerel in this region are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, so be sure your tackle is up to the challenge.
