Nobody ... even someone who calls himself a mackerel man can accurately predict when mackerel show up at the piers. There are far too many factors involved and that influence the movements of mackerel. However there IS one overriding factor. It is water temperature. Mackerel are a warm-water species that migrate from the northern Gulf seasonally as the waters warm or cool. With some short temporary exceptions, they move away into warmer waters when the water is cooler than about 68 deg F. So no fear, Tampa Bay temperature is still running around 77 these days, so they still have a lot time before they are forced away by cold fronts and cold water temps.

No need to argue guys. All I inquired about was an update on the Mac bite. I live about an hour away, just want to know my chances of catching before I make the drive (gas is expensive 😔).

No discrimination here my friend, I just see from your reports that you seem to know too many finesse techniques to not be after those finesse-y fish ! |
