Spanish Mackerel
Venice, Louisiana, offers a unique opportunity to target Spanish mackerel in a brackish water environment. While not as widely known for mackerel as other Gulf Coast locations, these fish can be found around the numerous rigs, platforms, and coastal structures that dot the landscape. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures rise and baitfish become abundant. Look for them around the edges of the Mississippi River outflow and in the passes leading to the Gulf. Trolling spoons or casting jigs around structure is a productive method. Be aware of the strong currents and changing water clarity typical of this region. Also, be sure to check regulations regarding fishing near oil platforms. A wire leader is essential due to their sharp teeth.
