King Mackerel
For King Mackerel enthusiasts, Morgan City offers access to the fertile waters of the Gulf of Mexico. While not as widely known as some other Gulf Coast destinations, the offshore waters near Morgan City hold good numbers of kings, especially during their migration periods. Summer and early fall are the prime times to target them. Focus your efforts around offshore oil rigs and wrecks, as these structures attract baitfish and, in turn, the kings. Trolling live or dead bait is a popular and effective technique. A local tactic is to slow-troll ribbonfish along the edges of these structures. The Berwick Boat Ramp provides a convenient launching point for offshore adventures. Be sure to monitor weather conditions closely before venturing out, as the Gulf can be unpredictable. Also, ensure you have the appropriate safety equipment and a reliable GPS system, as the offshore waters can be disorienting.
