King Mackerel
King mackerel fishing out of Point Comfort offers an exciting offshore experience. These speedsters are drawn to the nutrient-rich waters of the Gulf, especially during the warmer months, generally from late spring through early fall. Focus your efforts around offshore structures like gas platforms and artificial reefs, which hold baitfish and attract kings. Trolling with live bait, such as ribbonfish or blue runners, is a proven method. Keep an eye on water temperature breaks, as kings often congregate along these edges. A practical tip: the Sea Center Texas hatchery releases tagged king mackerel, so reporting any tagged fish you catch contributes to valuable research. Be sure to check sea conditions before heading out, as the Gulf can be unpredictable.
