Spanish Mackerel

Spanish Mackerel

Various

For some high-speed action, consider targeting Spanish Mackerel near Doral. These feisty fish are abundant in the waters off Miami-Dade County, particularly during the warmer months, from spring through fall. They're often found schooling near reefs, wrecks, and along the edges of channels. Trolling spoons or small plugs behind a boat is a highly effective method. Casting small, shiny lures like Got-cha plugs or Clarkspoons to surface-feeding schools can also provide thrilling action. Look for birds diving, as this often indicates the presence of Mackerel feeding on baitfish below. Access to these fishing grounds is best by boat, with numerous marinas and boat ramps available along the coast. Remember that Spanish Mackerel have sharp teeth, so using a wire leader is recommended to prevent bite-offs. Keep an eye on the water clarity, as clearer water often means better fishing for these sight-feeding predators.
