Default Cantaloupes and fence

My garden is surrounded by a fence. The fencing is about 2"X3" squares.
I've been waiting for a couple of months for the cantalouple to flower and
fruit. The flowering has been great and continues. Cantaloupe is planted
on 2 mounds, about 2 feet from the fence. It has grown parallel to the
fence, and later towards the fence. All flowering has resulted in no fruit.
I left it alone. Now, the cantaloupe is all over the fence. Found many
fruit growing now. All hanging from the fence. I've never attempted
cantaloupe before. Is it supposed to be supported in the air like on a
fence?
