When to fish Jacksonville between now and May???

[PurpleGold]

I have a buddy in law school in Jacksonville Fla and he graduates in May. I am trying to plan a trip down there to do some offshore fishing between now and then but don't know anything about the fishery down there so I have a few questions.

-When does the gulfstream bite start in that area? Looking to target wahoo, dolphin, sails, blackfin.

-How far of a run is it to the stream?

-What's the typical weather pattern down there in the spring, sea conditions and such?

Any help ya'll could give me on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

The gulf stream bite is on now.
It is approximately 60 miles from Mayport.
Depending on the size of your boat it can be tough to get open windows to make it to the stream sometimes. It can be two weeks sometimes.

PM me if you have any other Q?s as I won't likely be back here to check for replies. I can give you a web site that will give you some ideas of what is happening locally.
