Local Species Insights: Spanish Mackerel
Spanish Mackerel are plentiful in Florida's coastal waters, particularly around Riviera Beach. These fish typically school in large numbers and are most active during morning and evening hours. They prefer water temperatures between 68-88°F and can be found anywhere from just off the beach to several miles offshore.
When targeting Spanish Mackerel, Captain Rich often uses fast-moving lures, small spoons, or live bait like pilchards or threadfin herring. The technique typically involves trolling or casting and retrieving at a quick pace to trigger their predatory instinct. Spanish Mackerel have sharp teeth, so wire leaders are commonly used to prevent bite-offs. The local waters around Riviera Beach provide ideal habitat for these fish, with abundant baitfish and the right water conditions throughout much of the year.
