King Mackerel
If you're hoping to tangle with King Mackerel off Shoreham, New York, you'll need to head offshore into the Atlantic Ocean. These speedsters are pelagic fish, meaning they roam the open ocean in search of baitfish. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, typically from late summer to early fall, when the water temperatures rise and the kings migrate north. Look for areas with strong currents, temperature breaks, and concentrations of baitfish like bunker (menhaden) or bluefish. Trolling live bait or spoons is a common and effective technique. A local tip is to check with local tackle shops for the latest reports on king mackerel activity and optimal trolling speeds. The king mackerel in this region can range in size, with some reaching impressive weights. Be prepared for a fast and powerful fight!
