King Mackerel
Targeting king mackerel near Woodside, Delaware requires venturing offshore into the Atlantic. While not as common as further south, kings do migrate into these waters during the warmer months. Your best shot is from late July through September. Focus your efforts around structure like wrecks and artificial reefs located 20-40 miles offshore. Trolling with live bait, such as bluefish or Spanish mackerel, is the most effective method. A good starting point is using the public ramp at Indian River Inlet and heading east. Be sure to check the marine forecast before heading out, as conditions can change rapidly. King mackerel in this area tend to be smaller than those found in the Gulf of Mexico, but you can still expect to find fish in the 15-30 pound range. Make sure you have the proper tackle and safety equipment for offshore fishing before you go.
