Spanish Mackerel
Panama City offers some fantastic Spanish mackerel action, especially around the bridges, jetties, and nearshore reefs of St. Andrews Bay. These speedsters arrive in force during the warmer months, generally from late spring through early fall, following schools of baitfish like glass minnows and scaled sardines. When targeting them, keep an eye out for birds diving, which often indicates a feeding frenzy. A fast retrieve with shiny spoons or small jigs is often the ticket, but don't be afraid to experiment with live bait under a popping cork. Remember that Spanish mackerel are sensitive to water temperature and clarity, so pay attention to conditions. A great access point is the pier at St. Andrews State Park; it provides excellent casting opportunities into the Gulf. Also, be mindful of the daily bag limits, which can change, so check the latest regulations before heading out.
