King Mackerel
Targeting King Mackerel around Bayville, NY, offers a unique saltwater fishing experience relatively close to the city. While not as famous as southern King Mackerel fisheries, the Long Island Sound can hold some surprising fish, especially during the warmer months. Look for them from late summer (August) through early fall (October) as they follow baitfish migrations. Focus your efforts around structures like Execution Rocks Lighthouse or any of the numerous rocky outcroppings that hold bait. Trolling live bunker or spoons is a popular and effective method. Be aware of the strong currents in the Sound and plan your drifts accordingly. A good starting point is the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park boat ramp, giving you quick access to prime fishing grounds. Keep an eye on local fishing reports, as King Mackerel appearances can be sporadic but rewarding.
