Fishing for King Mackerel in New England | S16 E2 

Great show... Thanks for posting!

We got into them around that time too. Awesome fish for us here.

The ones with yellow spots on their sides are spanish mackerel, not kings. Have caught plenty of both in SWFL (and they're both delicious BTW 😁).

Very catch!

Crazy they found that many!

Some are spanish mackerel no? They have a more gradual lateral line. Juvenile Kings look so close, Spanish mackerel have the spot on the front dorsal too.

I caught a King about 15 years ago, at the time few believed I caught one in cape waters, it tasted fine on the grill.

Sick

You can’t eat them? Lol. Just keep thinking that. More for me.

nice spanish macks

Spanish macks, ive only seen one king mackerel in northeast ever

They are much better to eat then bluefish, and the Spanish mackerel are top quality meat.

Is it just me or are some of those spanish macks and not kings?

I don’t know about the fish early on the video but the last bigger one was a King Not Spanish. Young Kings can have yellow spots that fish had the lateral line that dipped sharply below the dorsel fin which makes it a King. Also, if quickly bled and iced they are delicious. They a awesome steaked and grilled. Ok frozen but not for long.

For those saying that they are spanish, you are wrong. All juvenile kings.

It’s Spanish Mackerel and not king

First

JUVENILE King Fish not Cero or Spanish

Str8 hating

You guys have a fishing show yet you don't know the fish or edibility. Wow.

There is no such thing as King Mackerel in Cape Cod.
