King Mackerel
Targeting King Mackerel near Leakey, Texas, requires a trip to the Gulf Coast, as Leakey itself is inland. Consider heading to coastal areas like Port Aransas or Corpus Christi – about a 4-5 hour drive. These waters are prime King Mackerel territory. The best time to chase Kings is during the warmer months, typically from late spring through early fall, when they migrate closer to shore. Look for them around offshore structures, reefs, and weed lines. Trolling live bait like ribbonfish or Spanish mackerel is a popular and effective technique. A helpful tip is to monitor water temperature breaks, as Kings often congregate in these areas. Be mindful of the wind; strong winds can make offshore fishing challenging. Check local fishing reports for recent King Mackerel activity before you head out. The King Mackerel population along the Texas coast is healthy, offering anglers a thrilling fight.
