There are plenty of schoolie dolphin for the taking, plus some fish pushing the 40-pound mark. There's also a decent blackfin tuna bite at the humps.
If there is a month to really get excited about fishing it has to be May. The action is hot whether you venture offshore or head outback in Florida Bay. There is something for everyone.
