    Great first time

    Excellent trip for the first time. We had a good time with Pat and Eduardo. Caught some fish, but we were recommended we bok an earlier trip next time. Will book again.

    Great morning on the water!

    Booked a last minute mackerel fishing trip and we’re glad we did. Captain Chris was a great guide and very friendly. We would definitely recommend.

    Fantastic fishing trip

    Fantastic fishing trip today aboard the Hustler with Captain Bob and his helper. We all had a brilliant time! The boys absolutely loved it — catching sharks was definitely the highlight, along with loads of mackerel throughout the trip. Captain Bob and his crew were friendly, helpful and made the whole experience really enjoyable. Great day out, plenty of action and some brilliant memories made. Would definitely recommend and we’ll happily come back again!

    Awesome trip

    Tyler was a great, knowledgeable, patient captain. He took our group of four out for a great day on the water and taught all of us how to catch mackerel and stripers. Cant recommend him enough!

    Short but sweet!

    Booked a two hour trip and the fish were biting, caught some Spanish mackerel and some blue fish. My 12 yr old and I had a blast!

About Atlantic Mackerel fishing

Game Quality

Atlantic Mackerel fishing is fast, fun, and great for all skill levels. These sleek, schooling fish hit hard and fight above their weight. Anglers target them for steady action, tasty fillets, and a chance to fill the cooler when the bite is on.

You can catch Atlantic Mackerel while inshore fishing and near the coast, as well as just offshore. Jigging is the go-to method with small metal jigs or diamond jigs. Many crews use a sabiki rig, a simple multi‑hook bait rig, to work the mid‑water column. Trolling small spoons also produces quick strikes. Spinning and fly fishing can be effective when fish feed near the surface.

Expect quick bursts of action when the school moves under the boat. Doubles and even multiples happen on multi‑hook rigs. This is a great trip for families, first‑timers, and anyone who enjoys light‑tackle sportfishing. Bring sun protection, a hat, and non‑slip shoes. Pack a cooler with ice if you plan to keep fish, and listen to your captain’s instructions for safe handling and clean fillets.

Before you go, check local rules for Atlantic Mackerel. Licensing, permits, seasons, and harvest limits can change by region and time of year. Your captain can explain what applies on the day of your trip, but you are responsible for meeting current regulations.
