Spanish mackerel?

[Gafiveo]

I am headed to Fort McAlister camping in a couple of weeks and taking the boat. I wanted to try Trolling ossabow sound for some Spanish mackerel. Never done this before but been reading on them and got everything I need to Troll for them. I have fished the sound many times for reds and trout, just not tried for mackerel. Are they any mackerel in the sound yet or would it be worth Trolling for them now? If so, any suggestions on best place or tactics to try to catch them? Thanks

Water needs to be around 70 degrees

Thanks for the info, y'all! I was afraid it may be too early for them, but wasn't sure.

Serious about the blue crabbing though. It is underrated fun. Some redfish fillets and some crab cakes make an awesome dinner.
