About Spanish Mackerel

A popular inshore and nearshore game fish found along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Spanish Mackerel are fast swimmers that travel in large schools, making them exciting targets on light tackle. They are excellent smoked or grilled fresh. Known scientifically as Scomberomorus maculatus.

Spanish Mackerel hold in nearshore/inshore, typically running 2-8 lbs on the rod, with a fight rated strong, and table fare considered good.

Spanish Mackerel charters on Party Boats USA depart from Alabama, where local captains know the structure, depth, and seasonal windows that produce fish.
