Seasonal Activity Chart
Spanish Mackerel
For fast-paced action, Spanish Mackerel fishing around Ingleside on the Bay is hard to beat. These speedsters are abundant in the warmer months, typically from late spring through summer. The key is to find the baitfish – look for diving birds or surface disturbances in Aransas Bay and Corpus Christi Bay. Trolling small spoons or tube lures behind a boat is effective, but casting to schools of mackerel feeding near the surface can be incredibly exciting. A great access point is the Ingleside City Park boat ramp, offering easy access to productive waters. Be mindful of the wind; it can pick up quickly in the bays, making navigation challenging. Spanish mackerel in this area are known for their aggressive strikes and spirited runs, so be sure to use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs.
