Spanish Mackerel
While Deport, Texas, isn't directly on the coast, its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico means you can target Spanish Mackerel with a bit of a drive. Focus your efforts in the Galveston Bay area or nearshore waters off the coast. These aggressive fish are most active during the warmer months, typically from late spring through early fall. Look for birds diving or surface disturbances that indicate feeding schools. Trolling spoons or casting flashy jigs near these schools is a productive method. A key tip for Galveston Bay: pay attention to the salinity levels, as Spanish Mackerel prefer higher salinity. Check local reports before heading out. Also, consider using a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as these fish have sharp teeth. Remember to consult Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for size and bag limits.
