King Mackerel
Grand Isle is a prime location for intercepting King Mackerel as they patrol the warm Gulf waters. The nearshore rigs and deeper waters surrounding the island draw in these pelagic predators, particularly during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Look for areas with strong currents and baitfish activity, such as schools of menhaden or Spanish mackerel. Trolling with live bait, such as blue runners or ribbonfish, is a popular and effective technique. Remember to use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs from these toothy fish. A local tip: check the water clarity – Kings prefer clearer water. The waters south of Grand Isle hold some monster Kings; be prepared with heavy tackle and a fighting belt. Several charter boats operate out of Grand Isle, offering guided trips for those unfamiliar with the area or without their own boat. Make sure to check the current regulations for size and bag limits before heading out.
