Hope this helps.....

The darter works best in moving water. It may dart in calm water, but it is not reccomended and it is going to perform better in moving water. Breachway currents, rips, and strong moving tides are the best places for darters. Varing the retreive has the most effective results. The idea is to imitate an injured or disoriented baitfish caught in a current, an easy target for predators. Try the stop and go or use the count to ten method. The count to ten method is as follows; Start you retreive and beging to count to ten, at the number ten make a few quicker cranks on the reel to speed up the plug causing it to swim a bit more erreatically, continue your retreive and repat for the rest of the cast. You may find strikes will occur just when you begin to speed up or slow down your retreive. Pay close attention to when strikes occur, your observations will determine your success. If fishing a breachway or jetty, a long drift with constant tension on the line causing the lure to swim and swing in an arc from the end of the jetty is also a great way to increase your catch.
