Spanish Mackerel
(Scomberomorus maculatus)
Spanish Mackerel are related to King Mackerel(Kingfish). They
do not grow near as big as King Mackerel but are better on the
table(in my opinion). Spanish swim in large schools and can
many times be found by the birds circling overhead. Once you
find a school of feeding Spanish Mackerel it is easy to catch
your limit in no time. They have sharp teeth, therefore, a short
section of small wire is your best bet. If the fish are spread out,
trolling a spoon works wonders.
