Spanish Mackerel

Hey all! I am new to the forum and had a question. I am heading down to gulf shores the first week of February and wondered if there would be any chance of hooking into a few stray spanish mackerel? I have never tried fishing during the month of February and would like to know if its worth my time? Any other species/tips for fishing this time of year?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Spanish are not the featured fish this time of year, but this season there have been some caught in January.

In the past, I had caught some in February from the west jetty at Perdido Pass (averaging every few years).
One February I caught two in one day from the old GSPPier.
With the current weather pattern and water temp, I would think either of those places to be almost a 'sure thing' this February. :headbang:

Other fish to be caught: sheepshead (getting better every week), bluefish, whiting, drum, redfish, rays and a few stray flounder and pompano.

Thanks for the input! Much appreciated! It sounds like I will have to give perdido pass a try and hopefully pull a few out :yay:
