Default kings and dolphin

What time of year do you start trolling for kings and dolphinout of Destin? How far out? I am from NC and fishing here is totally different.

We caught our cow on 5-13 20+ miles out last year. It was one of the first few caught. It really depends on the water temp, clarity, and wind. But that is a good ballpark date.

Where are you from in NC..? We are from Wilmington. :-)

I have a temperature chart here: http://www.florida-offshore.com/content-81.html

We started catchingdolphin April 20thlast year about 17-20 miles out on a floating styrophome block. They got bigger with each following trip out. :-)

We start in May fishing for kings. It will still be a little spotty. On Dolphin, May should work, I've heard of a few already caught. Out of Destin June is a great month for Dolphin. The best fishing is at the Spur, too far for you and me; however, decent fishing is typicallly 30-35 miles South/SE of Destin around the grass beds "June Grass." Later in the Summer, toward the nipple will be good also.Throughout the summer you will see plenty of school dolphin in real close. Good luck, tight lines andwelcome to Destin.

I will only be here until June then I'm back to NC to fish my own waters but I am loving the opportunity to fish down here while I can. The boys back in NC are jealous of the water temps and the number of rare Red Snapper I'm pulling in (and releasing unfortunately). Usually fish out of Sneads Ferry, NC.

Downtime2,

I didn't know you knew Tracy Dalton and Sondra Jack. Those two are a trip. Especially Tracy. Fun to drink with.
