Trolling is the most common method of catching King Mackerel. Casting live bait and lures is the best way to catch King Mackerel. Slow trolling is the best method to get the best bites. Because King Mackerel love to eat their tails, it is important that the bait hook is in the back. If you want to get the most bites, you need to use the right bait and the right technique. The best bait to use is the 3D Bunker, which looks like a small squid. You can also try Skirts and feathers.
3D Bunker
The 3D Bunker is a two-ounce lipped plug that is a close replica of the real thing. This bait can cast a distance and dive quickly. This lure can withstand the toughest of smokers due to its rugged construction. It also comes with a wire leader, which increases visibility and adds color. If you're looking to fool the biggest fish in the bay, this bait is definitely worth a try.
Bass Assassin Sea Shad
The bass assassin shad lure can sink to several feet. It can be fished using light spinning tackle. Fish can attack the bait by either reeling it in fast or using a steady retrieve. The bait vibrates in the water column as it falls, much like a dying baitfish. This bait is highly effective at catching Spanish mackerel.
Ribbonfish
Ribbonfish rigs are an integral part of king mackerel fishing techniques. A simple treble hook can produce excellent results when trolled on the surface. Ribbonfish, also known by the name "scorpion" can be rigged with either a skirt and a jighead. Both types of rigs are different, but both have their benefits. One-lead hook rigs have a more lively action while the jigheads rigs have a more aggressive vertical action. Both rigs sink quickly when trolling and dart up attractively when they target the bait.
Skirts, feathers
King mackerel are a well-known gamefish. Troll lures made from skirts and feathers of king mackerel are very popular. These lures cause a splash that causes a commotion and draws the game fish. Skirts or feathers are usually brightly colored and can be used with natural baits like ribbon fish and ballyhoo. However, they are most often used in South Florida and Keys.
Plugs
When trolling for king mackerel, plugs are a great choice. The plugs can be purchased in a variety sizes and colors. So you can fish them at various depths, as the lips of the plugs determine depth. This will give fish a competitive edge by covering more water column. Some plugs even feature prism finishes. Plugs are one of the best options for king mackerel fishing in Florida.
