Spanish Mackerel
For some high-speed action, target Spanish mackerel in the waters surrounding Bayou La Batre. These speedy predators are abundant in the warmer months, typically from late spring through early fall. They frequent areas with strong currents and baitfish schools, often near the Mobile Bay entrance and along the beaches. Trolling small spoons or tube lures behind a boat is a highly effective method. Another option is to cast Got-Cha plugs or similar lures around schools of baitfish that are visible on the surface. Be sure to use wire leaders, as Spanish mackerel have sharp teeth. Boat access is readily available from Bayou La Batre's marinas and public ramps. Look for diving birds or surface commotion to locate feeding schools. The Spanish mackerel in this region are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic leaps, providing a thrilling experience for anglers of all skill levels.
