Spanish Mackerel
Live Oak, though inland, provides convenient access to several Gulf Coast fishing locations for Spanish Mackerel. Ports such as Suwannee and Cedar Key, roughly an hour southwest, are excellent starting points. Spanish Mackerel fishing peaks during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they move closer to shore. These speedsters are often found around grass flats, oyster bars, and nearshore structures. Casting spoons, jigs, or small plugs is effective, and they readily hit live shrimp under a popping cork. Keep an eye out for birds diving, as this often indicates a school of mackerel feeding on baitfish below. A long-sleeved shirt and polarized sunglasses are recommended for dealing with the sun's glare off the water. Remember that Spanish Mackerel have sharp teeth, so wire leaders are advisable.
