I bought it from Zeno a little while ago, but do not need it. Going to make some of my own anyways.

Have your father buy Zeno's Croatian Olive Oil. I've been buying since he opened and it's so good, you could drink it!

I just received two bottles to replenish supply here. Got it ordered before Zeno had to return to Croatia for death in the family. Adriatic Gourmet should reopen mid/late March when he returns.

Darters. Yes. And I should use more often as well.

I remember probably 30 years ago at Deep Hole on the incoming on a full moon, Blue and Silver Super Strike Darter, 3oz and we crushed 30# and up all night in October. RJ Zaldivia, Gill Guillotine, Bobby Guillotone and Scott Slocum all way out on the rock/rubble bar. Probably 100 yds from shore. Massive night. We killed one 40# fish RJ hooked.

I never have less than 3 darters in my bag for night time. You need to use them more often.😉

I got the darter bug a couple years ago and always have at least 2 at night and usually one during the day in my bag.

Just put an order in to Zeno's Adriatic Gourmet. Can't wait to try all the stuff.

I have darters too. Worked well on the outgoing at Quonnie. Haven't used them in a long time...

Last year was my first catching on darters, I am officially converted into a darterman! I must say, superstrike work very well, but if you are restricting yourself to them, you are missing out!

Sporting Wood makes a nice wooden darter that casts pretty well. Especially when it’s really dark.

Sure do! Larry spins some nice wood, white pine, with lead. They swim very well. But pine being pine, the lips do not hold up against rocks.

I found a Blue and White SS Darter back in the early 90s, at Deep Hole. I fished that GD plug for 10 years and never caught a Striper on it. Boy did I catch Bluefish. I had a 19# Blue I had weighted by Mike Bestwick at Quaker Lane in 91. I have a picture somewhere.

The plug was a "go to" in the Fall, in the surf, from Deep Hole to Watch Hill. It imitated the Blueback Herring that use to migrate in mass by us in late Oct/early Nov. It finally died on the Block in 93.

I haven’t caught a striper on a darter in years, plastic or wood.

Order from Adriatic Gourmet arrived today. Great service, since re-opening like two days ago. Tryed the olive oil right off the bat, very smooth! Very happy. Don't know Zeno (only from here).

My own, cherry. Not as hard as I thought it’d be, just to make a few. Need to make some jigs, if I’m going to do any sort of production.
