For some high-speed action, consider targeting Spanish mackerel near Stuckey. While you'll need to head closer to the coast, the trip is worth it when these speedy predators are around. Spanish mackerel are typically found in the nearshore waters from late spring through early fall. Look for them around schools of baitfish, particularly glass minnows and menhaden. Trolling small spoons or lures behind a boat is a popular and effective technique. Another productive method is casting small metal jigs or Got-cha plugs into schools of feeding fish. A handy tip is to watch for diving birds, which often indicate the presence of baitfish and mackerel. Public boat ramps near Georgetown provide easy access to the coastal waters. The Spanish mackerel in this area are known for their aggressive strikes and fast runs, so be prepared for a thrilling fight. Using wire leaders is recommended as their sharp teeth can easily cut through monofilament.
