I'm not sure people can consider themselves serious SB fisherman w/o fishing darters.

"...and what a great memory. You had to be accessing thru RIMS."
Yup, grew up up down there and spent lots of time on the beaches and breachways. Still go down, but not until mid-november. Long drive, not enough time.

You should give them a try. They're very effective especially from shore.I don't fish from a boat so I don't know how effective they would be with shorter casts. Anytime there's moving water it is one of my go to plug lately. If you wanna p m me your address I'll send you one.

Paul, I'm good. I make plugs and have made darters. I just much prefer metal lip Dannys and Needles.
I know you realize we were just busting balls.  |

No you absolutely take advantage of his offer. His darters out catch any other darter. I have been trying to get my hands on some of his for years after standing next to my fishing partner slaying fish with them and nothing with super strikes. Maybe a bit of the magician aspect but they outwork.

Paul M, send it this way!
Paul Iemma, give it a swim. I had not been a big dahtah fan until I was schooled on Buzzards Bay and Cuttyhunk.
My favorite builders of dahtahs, in no particular order (just so I don't insult anyone I want to ho one from); Rockfish9 (Joe), Paul M, Blondterror (Chris), and of course Dr. Numbskull!
I copied Joe's jig for cutting slope and mouth on the bandsaw. Brilliant design.

No offense at all taken. If Beamie or anyone else wants to try a Superstike Darter send me a PM, I'll be happy to send 1. I won't be able to us all I have in my lifetime.

I now remembered my first dahtah. It was turned by Slip, either at a Plugfest or MSBA meeting in the early 2000s. I ho'd it and it may have been the first plug I primed, painted and wired to fish!
And it was Zeno, in his distinct Cringlish LawngEyeland accent that has always made me type it as dahtah.... So easily confused in dialect with a female offspring!
By the way, Zeno has gotten in his shipment of Croation oilive oil. Get it while you can. Adriatic Gourmet.

Yes, thumbs up for Adriatic Gourmet!!
Also, try Capizanno's at the Pawcatuck River Bridge at the Pawcatuck/Westerly line. Great selection of Olive Oil there too.
