Spanish Mackerel
Chasing Spanish Mackerel from Laurel, Delaware, means a trip to the Delaware Bay, but it's a worthwhile endeavor during the right season. These speedsters are primarily a late summer and early fall target (August-October). They follow schools of baitfish into the bay as the water warms. Since Laurel is inland, consider launching from a coastal town like Bowers Beach or Slaughter Beach for quicker access to productive areas. Spanish Mackerel are often found near structure, so focus your efforts around bridges, artificial reefs, and channel edges. Trolling small spoons or using fast-retrieving lures are effective techniques. A wire leader is essential to prevent bite-offs from their sharp teeth. Local anglers often find success by locating schools of breaking fish, indicating active feeding. Keep an eye on the marine forecast, as the Delaware Bay can be choppy, and safety should always be a priority. Remember to check the Delaware fishing regulations for any specific rules regarding Spanish Mackerel.
