The bite is on! Large Spanish Mackerel. If your not wearing gloves you might get a cut or two. This week has been very good fishing just off the beaches of the Fort Morgan Peninsula, due south of the Gulf Shores Plantation. We have been hooking up on the Large Spanish Mackerel using live shrimp, trawling spoons and Mackerel Rigs. The most hits have been on our mackerel rigs, just under the waters surface. Just when we think there high in the water column our planer rods twitch, planer trips and fish on from the deeper water column.Migration Time for the Gulf Traveling Mackerel
The Spanish Mackerels are Gulf travelers from fall to spring. During the spring they travel to the Northern Gulf of Mexico waterways from south Florida and from Mexico. As the water temperatures drops to 70 degrees or below its time for the Spanish Mackerel to head south for the winter in search of warmer waters.
