King Mackerel
Looking to tangle with King Mackerel near Lynn Haven, Florida? The Gulf of Mexico just offshore provides excellent opportunities. Kings are typically found in deeper waters, so a boat is essential for this fishery. Trolling is the most common and effective method, especially during the warmer months from late spring through early fall. Look for areas with baitfish concentrations or near artificial reefs and wrecks. Popular lures include deep-diving plugs, spoons, and rigged ballyhoo. Many anglers also use live bait, such as blue runners or Spanish mackerel, for larger kings. The Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association maintains a number of reefs that are excellent places to start your search. Be prepared for a fast and powerful fight! When trolling, vary your speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to. Also, be aware that king mackerel have sharp teeth, so use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs.
