Seasonal Activity Chart
Spanish Mackerel
Spanish mackerel provide fast-paced action off Dewey Beach during the warmer months. These speedy predators arrive in the coastal waters as the water temperature rises, typically from late June through September. Trolling small spoons and Clarkspoons behind planers or inline weights is a highly effective technique. Look for them near schools of baitfish, often indicated by diving birds. Areas near the Indian River Inlet and along the 3-mile line can be productive. A local's secret? Trolling tube lures can be deadly when Spanish mackerel are finicky. Spanish mackerel in this area are known for their schooling behavior, so once you find them, you can often enjoy consistent action. Be aware that they have sharp teeth, so wire leaders are recommended. Public boat ramps provide access, but parking can be limited during peak season.
