Local Species Insights: Atlantic Spanish Mackerel
Atlantic Spanish mackerel are fast-swimming predators that provide exciting action when hooked. These fish are typically found in the coastal waters off Riviera Beach, especially during their seasonal migrations. Captain Rich knows exactly how to target these speedsters, often using drift fishing techniques with live bait to entice them to strike. Their aggressive feeding habits and powerful runs make them a favorite target for anglers of all experience levels.
Spanish mackerel typically range from 1-3 pounds but can grow larger. They travel in schools, so when you find them, the action can be fast and furious. The February timing of our trip coincided perfectly with their presence in Palm Beach waters, but they can be targeted throughout much of the year with seasonal peaks. Their silver bodies with dark spots make them easily identifiable when brought aboard.
