Whether you're a seasoned angler or just looking to wet a line, our crew's got you covered with all the know-how and gear you'll need. We're talking about battling it out with king and Spanish mackerel that'll make your arms ache and your heart race. So grab your hat and sunscreen, 'cause we're about to show you why Brunswick's offshore waters are a fisherman's paradise.
Listen up, folks - this ain't your grandpa's pond fishing. We're talking about heading 20-30 miles offshore where the big boys play. Our boat's equipped with top-notch electronics to find the fish, and we've got enough rod holders to make you feel like you're in a floating tackle shop. The Atlantic can get choppy, so if you're prone to seasickness, you might want to grab some Dramamine before we shove off. Once we hit our spots, it's all hands on deck. We'll show you how to bait up, cast out, and reel in like a pro. And when that reel starts screaming, hold on tight - you're in for the fight of your life!
Alright, let's talk shop. For these mackerel, we're gonna be trolling - that means dragging lures or bait behind the boat as we cruise along. We use a mix of planers and outriggers to spread our lines and cover more water. You'll see us rigging up with some serious hardware: wire leaders to prevent bite-offs, and lures that'll make any fish's mouth water. We're talking Drone spoons, ballyhoo rigs, and maybe even some live bait if the conditions are right. Don't worry if this sounds like Greek to you - we'll break it down and have you fishing like a local in no time. Just be ready to jump when we yell "Fish on!" because when these mackerel hit, it's like lightning on the line.
King Mackerel, or "kings" as we call 'em, are the prize fighters of the sea. These silver missiles can top 50 pounds and will test every ounce of your strength. They're known for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps that'll have you hollering with excitement. Kings are most active in our waters from late spring through fall, and they're absolute dynamite on the grill. Their smaller cousins, Spanish Mackerel, might not be as big, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers and taste. These speedsters travel in schools, so when we find 'em, it's often non-stop action. They're perfect for newcomers looking to bend a rod and feel the thrill of the catch. Both species are migratory, following bait schools up and down the coast, which means every trip out is a new adventure.
Let me tell you, there's something special about fishing these waters. Maybe it's the way the sun rises over the Atlantic as we head out, painting the sky in colors you've gotta see to believe. Or perhaps it's that moment when a king mackerel hits your bait and the reel starts singing - it's enough to get even the most jaded angler's heart racing. Our regulars come back year after year, chasing that rush and the chance to land a fish worth bragging about. And let's not forget the camaraderie - there's nothing like swapping stories and sharing a laugh while waiting for the next bite. Whether you're looking to fill the freezer or just enjoy a day on the water, this trip's got something for everyone.

King Mackerel are hard-fighting speedsters that'll really test your skills. These sleek predators typically run 20-30 pounds but can top 90. Look for them in depths of 40-150 feet, often near structure. They're voracious eaters, chasing anything from blue runners to squid. Kings are prized for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. Spring through fall is prime time as they migrate along the coast. The meat's rich and flavorful, though watch the mercury if you're keeping them for the table. To boost your chances, try slow-trolling live bait like blue runners or menhaden. Use a stinger rig with two hooks - one in the nose, one trailing. Kings are notorious for short-striking, so that trailing hook is key. Keep your drag set light and be ready for explosive strikes and long, screaming runs. It's an adrenaline rush you won't forget.
Spanish Mackerel are perfect for light tackle action. These streamlined speedsters usually run 1-2 feet and 2-4 pounds, but put up a great fight for their size. Look for them in large schools near the surface, often around structure in open water. They're most active here from spring through fall as they follow bait schools up the coast. Spaniards are lightning-fast and will hit just about any flashy lure you throw their way. The meat's tasty too - great on the grill or smoked. For the best shot at Spanish Mackerel, try drifting or slow-trolling with small spoons or jigs. Work the edges of bait schools, keeping an eye out for birds diving. A 7-foot medium rod with 12-20 lb braid is perfect. When you see fish busting bait on top, cast beyond the school and retrieve fast. Hold on tight - their initial run is explosive!
