Default When to pick mellons

I am growing both midget watermelon and cantaloupe this year. I was able to
know when to pick the cantaloupe because they started breaking off the vine
and turned golden and sweet smelling. I am wondering when the watermelon are
ready to pick. Is the melon's attachment to the vine supposed to show signs
of drying up when it is ripe?
Thanks
