King Mackerel
Deport, Texas, offers access to King Mackerel, though you'll need to venture towards the Gulf Coast to target them. Head south to areas like Galveston or Freeport, where offshore fishing charters are readily available. The best time to target King Mackerel is during the warmer months, especially late summer and early fall when they migrate closer to shore. Trolling 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 tend to hold baitfish and attract King Mackerel. A crucial tip is to invest in high-quality wire leaders and strong tackle, as these fish are incredibly powerful and can easily break lighter lines. Be sure to check the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department regulations for current size and bag limits before you go. Also, monitor sea surface temperature charts – Kings often follow temperature breaks.
