King Mackerel
While Kenton, Delaware, is inland, it's within striking distance of the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean, opening up opportunities for pursuing King Mackerel. Targeting these pelagic predators requires a boat capable of offshore fishing. The best time to target King Mackerel off the Delaware coast is during the late summer and early fall, typically August through October, when the water temperatures are warmest. Trolling with live bait, such as bluefish or menhaden, is a common and effective technique. Look for areas with temperature breaks or schools of baitfish, as these are often indicators of King Mackerel presence. Popular fishing spots include the area around the Delaware Bay Buoy and offshore wrecks. Be prepared for long runs and potentially rough seas. Chartering a boat with an experienced captain is highly recommended, as they will have the necessary equipment and knowledge to locate and target these powerful fish. King Mackerel are known for their blistering runs and aerial displays, making them a thrilling catch for experienced anglers.
