When targeting mackerel in saltwater fishing, one of the most effective techniques is to use shiny metal lures or spoons that mimic the small fish they feed on. Trolling at a moderate speed with these lures can attract mackerel. Additionally, using live bait such as small fish or strips of squid can also be very successful. Mackerel are known to be fast swimmers, so it's important to adjust your retrieval speed accordingly. Pay attention to the water temperature and depth as mackerel tend to swim in cooler waters near the surface. Lastly, consider using a wire leader to prevent bite-offs as mackerel have sharp teeth.
