Spanish Mackerel
Spanish mackerel are a thrilling inshore species that can be found near Ellendale, Delaware, during the warmer months. These fast-moving, toothy predators arrive in Delaware Bay and the Atlantic coastal waters in the summer, providing anglers with exciting light-tackle action. The best time to target Spanish mackerel is from late June through September. Look for them around schools of baitfish, often near the surface. Trolling small spoons or tube lures at high speeds is a very effective technique. Another method is casting small metal jigs or flashy spoons towards surface activity. A local tip is to use a wire leader to prevent cut-offs from their sharp teeth. Spanish mackerel are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, making them a fun and challenging target for anglers of all skill levels. Remember to check the current Delaware fishing regulations before heading out.
