Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time wetting a line, we've got you covered. We'll be trolling the local hotspots where these feisty fish love to hang out. It's a quick hit of fishing fun that fits perfectly into your vacation schedule. Plus, with our flexible start times, you can sleep in or catch the early bite - your call!

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: you're cruising along the beautiful Delray Beach coastline, rod in hand, waiting for that telltale zing of the reel. Spanish Mackerel are known for their lightning-fast runs, so be ready for some serious excitement when one hits your line! Our experienced captain knows all the prime spots where these silver speedsters like to school up. We provide everything you need - from rods and reels to bait and licenses. All you've got to bring is your sense of adventure and maybe a snack or two. This trip is perfect for solo anglers, but we can accommodate up to 6 if you want to bring along some buddies.

Trolling Tips & Tackle Talk

On this trip, we'll be using light tackle and trolling techniques to target Spanish Mackerel. If you're new to trolling, don't sweat it - it's a blast and easy to pick up. We'll be dragging lures or bait behind the boat as we cruise at just the right speed to entice those Macks. We typically use small spoons, jigs, or live bait like pilchards. The key is to keep your lures moving at a good clip - these fish love a fast-moving target. Our gear is top-notch and specifically chosen for this type of fishing, so you'll have the best shot at landing a cooler full of tasty Mackerel.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Spanish Mackerel are the stars of this show, and for good reason. These streamlined predators are built for speed, with a sleek, torpedo-shaped body and razor-sharp teeth. They typically range from 2 to 4 pounds, but we occasionally hook into some real bruisers pushing 6 pounds or more. Spring through fall is prime time for Spanish Mackerel in our waters, with the bite often peaking in the summer months. What makes them so fun to catch? It's all about that initial strike and blistering first run. When a Spanish Mackerel hits, hold on tight - they can peel off 50 yards of line in the blink of an eye! And let's not forget, they're delicious on the grill or in the smoker. Nothing beats fresh-caught Mackerel for dinner after a day on the water.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Folks love our Spanish Mackerel trips for a bunch of reasons. First off, it's action-packed fishing that doesn't eat up your whole day. In just 3 hours, you can experience the thrill of battling these speedy fish and still have time for other vacation activities. It's also a great introduction to saltwater fishing for newcomers. The techniques are straightforward, and the frequent bites keep everyone engaged. Plus, Spanish Mackerel are excellent eating fish, so you might just be taking home dinner. Our flexible scheduling means you can easily fit this trip into your plans, whether you're an early bird or prefer a midday adventure.

Top Catches This Season

This season has been red hot for Spanish Mackerel! We've been seeing consistent catches with many anglers hitting their limits. Just last week, we had a father-son duo visiting from Ohio who couldn't believe how many fish they hooked into. The son landed a personal best 5-pounder that put up one heck of a fight. Another recent highlight was a solo angler who managed to boat over 20 Mackerel in our 3-hour trip - talk about non-stop action! Remember, while we focus on Spanish Mackerel, it's not uncommon to hook into other species like Bluefish or even the occasional King Mackerel, adding an extra element of surprise to your trip.

Delray Beach Fishing Scene

Delray Beach is a gem on Florida's southeast coast, and the fishing here is second to none. Our waters are teeming with life thanks to the nearby Gulf Stream, which brings in a variety of gamefish throughout the year. When we're not chasing Spanish Mackerel, you might find us targeting Snook along the beaches, battling Mahi-Mahi offshore, or sight-fishing for Tarpon in the Intracoastal Waterway. The area's mix of coastal and offshore fishing opportunities means there's always something biting, no matter the season. And let's not forget the stunning scenery - there's nothing quite like watching the sun rise over the Atlantic as we head out for a day of fishing.
