Local Species Insights: King Mackerel
King mackerel thrive in Panama City Beach's warm Gulf waters, particularly around artificial reefs, natural ledges, and drop-offs where baitfish concentrate. These powerful predators prefer water temperatures above 68°F and actively feed throughout the water column. Spring through fall offers the most consistent action, with kings moving closer to shore during cooler months and spreading to deeper waters in summer heat. Captain Will targets specific depth ranges and structure types based on seasonal movements, water temperature, and bait activity to locate active schools of feeding kings.
