Local Species Insights: Spanish Mackerel
Spanish mackerel are migratory predators that frequent the coastal waters of Florida. They're typically found in schools, feeding voraciously on small baitfish like pilchards, glass minnows, and threadfin herring. In Riviera Beach waters, these fish are most abundant during spring and fall migrations, though they can be caught year-round with proper techniques.
Anglers target Spanish mackerel using fast-moving spoons, small jigs, or live bait rigs. When hooked, they make blistering runs and often jump clear of the water, providing excellent sport on light tackle. Captain Rich specializes in finding these fish by locating diving birds, bait schools, or working productive reef structures where mackerel gather to feed.
