King Mackerel

While Union Point itself isn't on the coast, it serves as a viable jumping-off point for anglers targeting King Mackerel in the Georgia Bight. You'll need to head towards the coast (Savannah or Brunswick areas) to launch. The unique aspect of fishing for Kings out of these ports is the access to a wide range of offshore structures and artificial reefs. Late summer and early fall are the peak seasons, with warmer waters attracting larger fish. A practical tip is to monitor sea surface temperature charts before heading out, as Kings tend to congregate in areas with specific temperature breaks. Also, be prepared for a longer boat ride to reach prime fishing grounds. The King Mackerel population here is robust, with opportunities for catching trophy-sized fish, but remember to check regulations regarding size and bag limits before you go.
