The Spanish Mackerel is a high speed schooling fish found in the waters off of Marco Island much of the year. It provides plenty of excitement for anglers and is quite tasty when fileted and eaten fresh. The Spanish is targeted heavily by charter captains because of their proximity to shore,their vast numbers (sometimes!), and the hard-fighting action they provide for our clients. Mixed in with the Spanish Mackerel at times will be the much larger King Mackerel and the Bonita. All these species will hit the same baits, jigs, or lures that we\'re using at the time.
