If you're near Wausau, Florida, and looking for some fast-action saltwater fishing, Spanish mackerel are a great option. These speedy predators can be found in the nearby Gulf of Mexico and Choctawhatchee Bay. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall migrations, typically from April to June and then again from September to November. They often school in large numbers, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. A great local spot is near the Hathaway Bridge in Panama City; the pilings attract baitfish, which in turn attract mackerel. Trolling small spoons or using live shrimp under a popping cork are both effective tactics. Be sure to use a wire leader, as their sharp teeth can easily cut through monofilament. Spanish mackerel are also known for their delicious flavor, so a fresh catch makes for a fantastic meal. Remember to check local size and bag limits before you head out.
