I am very new to mead making, only have 3 batches and they are all still fermenting, my question is I had an idea for a watermelon mead, and was wondering if anyone had tried it with any luck or if it was a lost cause.

Mine was weird for a while but is starting to taste like watermelon again. I went to Jack Keller's wine website for my recipe, just don't add acid blend when you're converting a wine recipe using sugar into a mead recipe.

just to add
I've made a batch of watermelon wine using Jack K's website. My little addition is that you should use Montrachet wine yeast. It works fast and that will keep it from spoiling... which was one the biggest problems with watermelon fermentation.

I read that about spoiling on Jack Keller's site but I didn't have any problems with oxidization. Then again, I took 24 hours less to get to fermenting because I don't use the campden tablet he recommends...
