King Mackerel
If you're looking for a thrilling saltwater experience, consider king mackerel fishing out of Bayside, Texas. While not as widely known as other kingfish hotspots, the waters off Bayside provide access to productive areas in the Gulf of Mexico. Summer and early fall are the peak seasons when kings migrate closer to shore. Trolling live bait like ribbonfish or Spanish mackerel near offshore rigs and natural reefs is a popular and effective technique. For access, utilize the boat ramp in Bayside and head towards deeper water. A crucial local tip: keep an eye on your electronics for bait balls, as king mackerel are often found nearby. The king mackerel in this region are known for their impressive size and speed, so be sure to use appropriate tackle, including wire leaders, to prevent bite-offs. Always check marine forecasts before venturing offshore.
