Spring Break Fishing: 3 Hours of Coastal Fun

Ready for some spring break action on the water? Climb aboard the Double Trouble, a 40' Henrique beauty, for a 3-hour trolling trip that'll have everyone reeling with excitement. Whether you're a family looking to make memories, friends seeking adventure, or spring breakers after some sun and fun, this trip's got you covered. We'll be chasing after Spanish Mackerel, known for their fast runs and tasty fillets. The best part? Everyone gets a chance to feel that tug on the line and bring in a catch. Add in stunning coastal views and plenty of sunshine, and you've got yourself a perfect day on the water.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as we push off, you'll feel the excitement in the air. We'll cruise out to prime fishing grounds where Spanish Mackerel are known to hang out. The captain will set up several trolling lines, and then it's game on. These fish are known for their speedy runs, so be ready for some action when one hits. Don't worry if you're new to fishing - our crew will show you the ropes and make sure everyone gets a turn. Between catches, soak in those coastal views and keep an eye out for dolphins or sea birds diving for their own lunch. This trip is all about having a good time, so whether you're reeling in fish or just enjoying the ride, you're in for a treat.

Trolling 101: The Art of the Chase

Trolling is like setting up a buffet for fish - we're presenting multiple lures or baits behind the boat as we cruise along. It's a great technique for covering water and finding where the fish are biting. We'll be using light tackle setups perfect for Spanish Mackerel. When a fish strikes, you'll hear that sweet sound of the reel singing as line peels off. That's your cue to grab the rod and start reeling! We use special lures that mimic the small baitfish that Spanish Mackerel love to chase. It's an easy technique for beginners but still exciting for experienced anglers. Plus, with multiple lines in the water, we're maximizing our chances for a great catch.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Spanish Mackerel are the stars of this show, and for good reason. These sleek, silver torpedoes are known for their blistering runs and acrobatic leaps. They typically range from 2 to 4 pounds, but don't let their size fool you - they fight like fish twice their weight. Spanish Mackerel travel in schools, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. They're most active in the warmer months, making them perfect for spring break trips. Anglers love targeting these fish because they're abundant, put up a great fight, and taste delicious if you decide to keep a few for dinner. Just wait until you feel one hit the line - it's like hooking a miniature rocket!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing during spring break. The weather's warming up, the fish are getting active, and everyone's in high spirits. Our guests rave about the non-stop action of trolling for Spanish Mackerel. It's not just about the fish, though. It's the whole package - the salty breeze, the sun on your face, and the chance to disconnect from the world for a few hours. Families love how inclusive the experience is, with kids as young as 5 able to join in on the fun. College groups find it's a perfect break from the beach scene. And let's not forget the bragging rights that come with landing your own catch. Whether you're posting pics on social media or reliving the day over drinks later, these are the moments that make spring break unforgettable.

Learn more about the specie

King Mackerel

King Mackerel are fast, powerful fish that'll give you a real rush on the line. These sleek predators typically weigh 20-30 pounds but can get up to 90. You'll find them in deeper coastal waters, usually 40-150 feet down. They're most active in warmer months when water temps hit the upper 60s to low 80s. Kings love to chase baitfish, so look for them around structures that attract smaller prey. Anglers prize Kings for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps. Their firm, oily flesh makes great smoked fish too. Just watch the mercury levels if you're eating them often. For the best shot at hooking one, try slow-trolling live bait like blue runners or menhaden. Use a stinger rig with two hooks - Kings are known for short-striking the tail of the bait. A wire leader is a must to prevent bite-offs from those razor-sharp teeth.
