Spanish Mackerel (Scomberomorus maculatus) are a smaller coastal migratory pelagic species often visiting South Carolina’s coast throughout the warmer months.
Fishing Tips
Spanish Mackerel, often called just “Spanish”, are typically taken by small artificial lures trolled or cast at feeding schools. Shiny silver or gold spoons are highly effect.
Try trolling a spoon behind a small #1 or #2 planer through areas where Spanish Mackerel are active.
