    3 hour trip

    We had a lot of fun with Captain Jeff. It’s a perfect trip if you arent sure about deep sea fishing or have some folks in your party that might be sensitive to spending a lot of time on the water. We were out at 7 and back by 10 and caught some fish. My son, who is autistic, had a great time! We’ll be doing it again the next time we are in town.

    Fantastic Trip!!

    We had such a great experience with Captain Jeff! He was very informative, laid-back, easy to get along with, and absolutely great with the kids. Weather cut our original trip short, and he was kind enough to reschedule us for the very next day so we could get back out there. He even filleted our fish for us afterward. We had a great time and would definitely recommend him. We’ll absolutely be back!

About Spanish Mackerel fishing

Size

Food Value
Good
Game Quality
Low

Spanish Mackerel fishing is all about speed, splash, and steady action. These fast, schooling game fish smash bait on the surface and light up light tackle. Anglers love their hard runs, sharp turns, and tasty, fresh fillets.

You can target them with inshore fishing or nearshore trolling when conditions allow. Spinning with small metal spoons, nylon jigs, or shallow-diving plugs works great. Fly fishing also shines when fish blitz bait; use small, flashy flies and quick strips.

Expect quick hookups, visual strikes, and double-headers when schools move through. This is a fun choice for beginners, kids, and anyone who enjoys fast-paced catching. Bring polarized sunglasses, sun protection, a fast-retrieve reel, and a short wire or heavy fluorocarbon leader to beat sharp teeth.

Before you go, check local regulations for Spanish Mackerel fishing. Confirm license or permit needs, open seasons, and harvest rules for your area. When in doubt, ask your captain or local authority for the latest guidance.
