Spanish Mackerel
Spanish mackerel fishing near Selbyville, Delaware, heats up during the summer months as these fast-moving fish migrate into the coastal waters. Look for them around structure like the artificial reefs and wrecks a few miles offshore. They are also common in the Indian River Inlet. Trolling small spoons or Clark spoons behind a planer or inline weight is a proven method. Casting metal lures or Got-cha plugs to schools of breaking fish can also be very effective. Keep an eye out for diving birds, as they often indicate the presence of baitfish and mackerel. Remember that Spanish mackerel have sharp teeth, so using a wire leader is recommended. The fish found here are of average size, but they fight hard, making for an exciting experience.
