Fishing guide

The Indo-Pacific King Mackerel (Scomberomorus guttatus) is a medium-sized fish from the mackerel family, found in the warm waters of the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. Reaching up to 11 lb (5 kg) and beyond, this pelagic fish prefers coastal waters at depths of 49 to 262 ft (15 to 80 m). It’s a prized catch for commercial fishers and a worthy challenge for anglers. King Mackerel travels in small schools , dining on sardines, anchovies, squid, and the occasional crustacean. They are active both day and night, so there’s no bad time to go fishing for them. But beware – once hooked, these fish love to leap and thrash.

If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Indo-Pacific King Mackerel would be to use Small Flying Fish on a size #5/0 hook.

If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Pilkers.

The most successful lure is Silver/Gold Trophy Double Hook Pilker 150 g, #7/0.
