2020/2021 Spanish mackerel report

LobsterLegs

I know it's a little early but is anyone catching them out of Boynton yet?

I'm old so the only lure i think about for targeting Spanish is a Clark Spoon. I used to run down around Peck's in my mighty 12' Sears Gamefisher with a 7.5 HP Honda...

If  was allowed only one lure to survive, it would be a Clark Spoon

I think mine would either be a crocodile spoon or that Rebel plug that looks like a finger mullet.

You can't go wrong with a green, 1/2 or 3/8 ounce Gulfstream Glass Minnow Jig.  One hook safer than treble hook and I guarantee it will out fish any spoons or other lures.  1/2 ounce is preferable as it will remain deeper in water column when you reel faster which is where the bigger fish are located.  Just my opinion.

So did they not show up this year. whats going on. constantly checking the cameras not seeing boats at pecklake hardly at all. seems very strange

Jupiter312, I've been saying the same thing. I did see a small fleet on the camera a few weeks ago closer to the inlet. But nothing since.

not cold enough yet. Give it another month. If not, the Chinese fleet got to them first.

There are a few being taken off Pompano Beach

Ft. pierce inlet has had a lot of Macks and the water is cleaner so maybe thats where they are

I was talking to a commercial guy this morning and he said the fleet is catching them down towards Vero Beach

Was at Pecks Lake today, there are there but not very thick. Too about +100 cast to fill my limit. My guess is about another month there would be thick. Average size 20 inch. Had a few +24 inch.

Maxed out of Spanish again today. Still not a think to catch on every cast. Maybe 1 in 5 cast. Gonna try something new next time, bring a 50 size reel with a big bait and drop it next to the boat.
