King Mackerel
Targeting King Mackerel near Lloyd Harbor offers a thrilling saltwater experience. These speedsters frequent the waters of Long Island Sound, especially during the warmer months, typically from late July through September. Look for them around structure like buoys, rock piles, and areas with strong currents where baitfish congregate. Trolling with live bait, such as bunker or bluefish, is a highly effective method. Diamond jigs can also produce strikes, especially when jigged aggressively near the bottom. A practical tip is to monitor water temperatures; Kings prefer water in the 70-80°F range. Public access to the Sound is available at various marinas and parks along the coast. Be aware that these fish are known for their blistering runs, so ensure your tackle is up to the challenge. The local population consists of migratory fish, so their presence is highly dependent on water conditions and bait availability.
