Spanish Mackerel
Looking for some fast-paced action? Spanish mackerel can be a blast to catch near Port Vincent, Louisiana, especially during the warmer months, typically from late spring through early fall. These schooling fish are often found near the surface, chasing baitfish in the channels and passes leading to Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas. Trolling spoons or casting small, shiny lures are effective techniques. A fast retrieve is key to triggering strikes. Keep an eye out for birds diving, as this often indicates the presence of a school of mackerel. A local tip: wire leaders are essential, as Spanish mackerel have sharp teeth that can easily cut through monofilament or fluorocarbon. Also, be mindful of the wind and waves, as conditions in the open water of Lake Pontchartrain can change quickly. Spanish mackerel are delicious grilled or smoked, making them a rewarding catch.
