Local Species Insights: King Mackerel
King mackerel (Scomberomorus cavalla) are prized gamefish in Florida waters, particularly around Riviera Beach where they can be found year-round with peak seasons in spring and fall. These sleek, silver predators hunt in the clear blue waters offshore, often found near reefs, wrecks, and along current edges where baitfish congregate. Captain Rich specializes in locating king mackerel using both live bait and trolling techniques, adapting to the conditions and fish behavior on any given day.
Known for their blistering runs and aerial displays, king mackerel strike with incredible speed and power. The 21-inch specimen caught on this trip is a young fish, as kings can grow to over 50 inches and 40+ pounds in Florida waters. Targeting these fish requires specialized tackle including wire leaders (to prevent bite-offs from their razor-sharp teeth) and medium-heavy rods capable of handling their powerful initial runs.
