Wanna know what's biting where? Here's your front row seat! - Tarpon4me - 04-26-2006 [#003366][size 3]Month of Mayhem[/size][/#003366] The fishing is on fire in May, and spools spin at full throttle—so hold on tight. Hear that? it might be a swordfish ripping line off an 80-wide reel, or a snook exploding on a topwater lure. In the Northeast, the tails of trophy stripers slap the surface, while big red snapper will have you whistling Dixie down South. Wherever you're fishing, May is playing your tune. Be sure to check regulations before heading out. — Joe Cermele [#4e555b][size 3]SNOOK[/size][/#4e555b] ![]() [#4e555b][size 2]RUNNER-UP[/size][/#4e555b] Florida Keys Mangrove-bordered flats and lighted bridges both play host to loads of hungry snook. ![]() [#4e555b][size 3]BLACK DRUM[/size][/#4e555b] ![]() [#4e555b][size 2]RUNNER-UP[/size][/#4e555b] Assateague Island, Virginia Surf casters can fight big drum feeding in the breakers around this barrier island. ![]() [#4e555b][size 3]BLUE MARLIN[/size][/#4e555b] ![]() [#4e555b][size 2]RUNNER-UP[/size][/#4e555b] Hatteras, North Carolina May kicks off the marlin season here with takers weighing up to 700 pounds. ![]() [#4e555b][size 3]RED SNAPPER[/size][/#4e555b] ![]() [#4e555b][size 2]RUNNER-UP[/size][/#4e555b] Port Fourchon, Louisiana Anglers departing from Port Fourchon get into a mess of red snapper. ![]() [#4e555b][size 3]BLUEFISH[/size][/#4e555b] ![]() [#4e555b][size 2]RUNNER-UP[/size][/#4e555b] Rehoboth Beach, Delaware The tail of the migration will keep lines tight with monster fish off Delaware. ![]() [#4e555b][size 3]YELLOWTAIL[/size][/#4e555b] ![]() [#4e555b][size 2]RUNNER-UP[/size][/#4e555b] Catalina Island, California Yellowtail gorge on schools of bait in these waters off Southern California. ![]() [#4e555b][size 3]STRIPED BASS[/size][/#4e555b] ![]() [#4e555b][size 2]RUNNER-UP[/size][/#4e555b] Western Long Island, New York Bass moving into Long Island Sound go on a feeding frenzy.
