Spanish Mackerel
Chasing Spanish Mackerel around Fort Myers Beach is a blast, especially when you dial in the local conditions. Focus your efforts around the passes and nearshore reefs. These speedsters are drawn to areas where baitfish concentrate, so look for signs of life – diving birds are a dead giveaway. Spring and fall are prime times as the water temperatures are ideal, but you can find them year-round. A key to success here is matching your presentation to the prevalent forage. Glass minnows and small shrimp imitations are often effective. Don't be afraid to experiment with retrieve speeds; sometimes a blistering pace triggers strikes. For shore access, try the jetties at the south end of Estero Island. Boat anglers will find good launch facilities at Matanzas Pass. Remember that Spanish Mackerel are notorious for their sharp teeth, so use a wire leader to avoid cut-offs.
