Spanish Mackerel
Targeting Spanish Mackerel near Felton, Delaware, requires venturing out to the Delaware Bay. While Felton itself is inland, it provides a convenient base for anglers heading to prime fishing spots along the coast. The best time to chase these fast-moving predators is typically late summer and early fall (August-October) when the water temperatures are still warm. Spanish Mackerel are drawn to the bay by the abundant schools of baitfish. Focus your efforts around structure like the artificial reefs and bridge pilings that dot the bay. These areas attract bait, which in turn attracts the mackerel. A small, fast-retrieving spoon or a flashy trolling lure are effective choices. Remember to use a wire leader, as Spanish Mackerel have sharp teeth! A practical tip: launch from Bowers Beach or Slaughter Beach for quicker access to the bay's hotspots. Keep an eye on local fishing reports, as Spanish Mackerel migrations can be unpredictable and heavily influenced by water temperature.
