Fathers day weekend is upon us, and I hope every dad has a chance to get out on the water with his family this week to enjoy some great weather and even better fishing.

Monica Caito is all smiles with her winning 24.9-pound dolphin. She fished with Capt. Greg Poland in the Plantation Boat Mart Owner's Tournament.

Slammers are easy pickings

As if they know the price at the fuel dock, the dolphin have moved in amazingly close, just five to 10 miles off the reef. Actually, this is due to the close proximity of the Gulf Stream at the moment.

Whatever the reason, get out there and get your share of the abundance of slammer-size dolphin -- fish in the 20- to 50-pound class. There are also plenty of schoolies to fill the fish box.
