I have picked up a few Dart on SP's in the surf. Red, orange or blood-worm seem good.

Nothing big yet but it is still in the research stage. Let us know if you have any success.

I need another rod and reel to really do it well but I just don't seem to be able to broch the subject casually just yet

[MikeC]

Dug I know exactly what you mean about extra gear :-) I'm thinking I'd probably need about a 9ft rod and pretty light line to be able to cast far enough.
I rarely get to the surf these days but some day I'll give it a shot and I'll let you know how I go. They're great fish those dart. Thanks for the info.
Regards
Mike

Zeeke,

I was out there to the south on New Years Day. We flipped a coin, North or South after going out through Moolooaba. Bugga, should have gone North and met up with you guys AND maybe got a couple of Spotties

The conditions were awesome and fishies everywhere.

By the way, have caught Dart off the beach using Softies. A trip to Fraser a few years back had us catching quality Dart on Mister Twisters (single Tail) spun through the waves breaking into the back of the gutter.

Cheers
Craigie.

Hey Cragie

How did you go down south?

I picked up some small transparent SP's today I want to try letting them drift down through a feeding school and see if anything picks them up :-)

I really need a new rod and reel:-)

[craigie]

Dug,

Down south was going "OFF" for Tuna !!!! Could not find any Spotties

See my report titled "Tuna Slugfest".

Good luck with the softies, interested to hear your results.

Regards
Craigie.
