King Mackerel
For anglers seeking high-speed action, Biloxi offers opportunities to target king mackerel in the Gulf of Mexico. These toothy predators are known for their blistering runs and can provide an adrenaline-pumping experience. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are the best times to target king mackerel as they migrate closer to shore. Trolling with live bait, such as ribbonfish or blue runners, is a highly effective technique. Look for areas with structure, such as oil rigs or artificial reefs, as these often hold baitfish and attract king mackerel. A key local tip is to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs from their sharp teeth. The king mackerel in this area can reach impressive sizes, with some specimens exceeding 40 pounds. Be sure to check the latest fishing reports and regulations before heading out.
