Spanish Mackerel
If you're hoping to tangle with Spanish Mackerel near Milton, Delaware, focus your attention on the Delaware Bay and the nearshore waters of the Atlantic Ocean. These speedsters show up in force during the warmer months, typically from late June through September. Trolling small spoons or Clarkspoons behind a planer or inline weight is a highly effective method. Look for birds diving or surface activity, as this often indicates schools of mackerel feeding on baitfish. A local tip is to try trolling along the edges of shoals or channels in the Delaware Bay. These areas often hold concentrations of bait. You can launch from boat ramps in nearby Lewes or use smaller access points along the Broadkill River to reach the bay. Spanish Mackerel are known for their blistering runs, so be sure to use light tackle for maximum enjoyment. Remember to check the current Delaware fishing regulations for size and bag limits, as they can change from year to year.
