Spanish Mackerel
Blades, Delaware, offers a unique opportunity to target Spanish mackerel in its saltwater estuaries. While not as common as further south, these speedy predators make their presence known in the Delaware Bay and its tributaries during the warmer months, typically from late June through September. Spanish mackerel are attracted to areas with abundant baitfish schools, so look for them near the mouths of rivers like the Nanticoke where they meet the bay. Trolling small spoons or casting fast-moving lures near breaking fish is a surefire way to get their attention. A local piece of advice: keep an eye out for diving birds, as they often indicate the presence of baitfish being harassed by mackerel. Remember to use wire leaders, as their sharp teeth can easily slice through monofilament. The Spanish mackerel here might not be as large as those found further south, but their aggressive strikes and blistering runs make them a thrilling catch.
