Solomon Holton with a nice Spanish mackerel.
Spanish Mackerel are getting thick along the area beaches and lots of fun to catch with the occasional shark crashing the party. On light tackle it makes for exciting fishing.
King mackerel are also beginning to show up inshore as well. Both mackerels as well as the sharks readily eat shrimp, threadfins, pilchards and pinfish which can be caught with sabiki rigs in the same areas you find the mackerel.
We are finding black sea bass on hard bottom areas and catching them on live shrimp.
Remember, the best time to go fishing is when you can and be sure to save some for seed!
