King Mackerel
Targeting king mackerel from Hinesville, Georgia, means venturing offshore into the Atlantic. The waters off the Georgia coast are home to these powerful predators, especially during the warmer months. Late summer and early fall are generally considered the best times to fish for kings, as they follow schools of baitfish. Trolling live bait or artificial lures near artificial reefs and wrecks is a common strategy. Consider using a downrigger to present your bait at different depths. The Savannah Snapper Banks, located offshore, are a popular destination. Before heading out, check the marine weather forecast and ensure your boat is properly equipped for offshore fishing. The king mackerel in this region are known for their aggressive strikes and high-speed runs, making for an exciting fishing experience.
