King Mackerel
If you're chasing king mackerel near Avery Island, Louisiana, focus your efforts offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. This area is known for its robust kingfish population, particularly during the warmer months. The peak season typically runs from late spring through early fall when the water temperature rises and baitfish become abundant. Trolling live bait, such as menhaden or blue runners, is a highly effective tactic. Look for structure like oil rigs and reefs, as these areas tend to hold concentrations of kings. A slow-trolled live bait near these structures can be irresistible. Be mindful of the currents and wind, as they can significantly impact your boat control and presentation. Consider using a downrigger to present your bait at various depths, especially when targeting larger fish. Launching from nearby ports like Delcambre or Intracoastal City will put you in prime king mackerel territory. Always check weather conditions before heading offshore.
