Spanish Mackerel
For fast-paced action, Spanish mackerel fishing around Pine Island can be incredibly rewarding. These speedy predators are abundant in the warmer months, typically from late spring through early fall. Sabine Lake and the nearby Gulf waters teem with baitfish, attracting schools of Spanish mackerel. Look for them near jetties, piers, and any structure that holds bait. Trolling small spoons or casting flashy lures like Got-Cha plugs is highly effective. A wire leader is a must to prevent bite-offs. A local's secret is to watch for birds diving – it's a sure sign of mackerel feeding on baitfish below. The Sabine Pass Battleground State Historic Site has good shoreline access for casting, but a boat will allow you to cover more ground and find the larger schools further offshore. Spanish mackerel here are known for their impressive bursts of speed, making for an exciting fight on light tackle.
