Spanish Mackerel
Hewlett Harbor provides good access to Spanish Mackerel fishing during their seasonal migration. These fast-moving, toothy predators are a favorite among anglers looking for exciting action. The best time to target Spanish Mackerel is during the summer months, typically from July through September, when the water temperatures are warm enough to attract them. Look for them in open water, often near schools of baitfish. Trolling with small spoons or diving plugs is a popular and effective technique. You can also try casting to them when they are feeding on the surface. A wire leader is essential to prevent them from biting through your line. Several marinas and boat ramps in Hewlett Harbor offer convenient access to the fishing grounds. Be mindful of other boat traffic and always keep a sharp eye out for diving birds, which can indicate the presence of baitfish and, therefore, Spanish Mackerel. A fast retrieve is key to triggering strikes.
