Spanish Mackerel

If you're after some fast-paced action, targeting Spanish Mackerel near Port Dickinson can be a blast. These fish are migratory, so their presence is seasonal, typically arriving in the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. They frequent coastal waters and bays, often found near schools of baitfish. Look for them around inlets, bridges, and areas with strong currents. Trolling with spoons or small lures is a highly effective method. A great local tactic is to watch for birds diving, as this often indicates a school of Spanish Mackerel feeding below. Several charter boats operate out of nearby ports, offering guided trips specifically for Spanish Mackerel. Remember that Spanish Mackerel have sharp teeth, so using a wire leader is recommended to prevent cut-offs. These fish are aggressive and provide an exciting fight on light tackle.
