Those of you that attended the seminars know just what a pleasure it was to listen to legendary creator of Super Strike lures, Mr. Don Musso.
For those of you who are out of the area or could not attend, we made a short video clip so you can benefit from Don’s experience.
Enjoy your Friday everyone…next issue of Surfcaster’s Journal is coming up in few days

Nothing reinforces a good point, tip, or idea like hearing it from the master. Great information here. For those who don’t know how to work or get the most out of a darter, what Don shares here is spot on! I learned a lesson the hard way my first time throwing a darter too. After getting schooled one night in Montauk, I had to learn why I was the only guy who didn’t hook up. Everybody had on a yellow darter. Me too. But I couldn’t even get a bump. (Like Don explains about his experience at Shag.) What was I doing wrong. I learned to observe my darter in the daylight so I could see what it was doing and what I was doing wrong. I learned so much that afternoon about how to make it dig in, dart, and how deep it swam. That night’s tide I felt confident that I was ready. And sure enough, I caught, bigtime. Another point that Don shares is being observant to the guys next to you AND using your senses. If your ever fortunate enough to fish next to Don, it is well worth your time to step back and watch. I learned an aweful lot buy watching for subtle differences that keep other’s rods bent while I just practiced casting. ~lol~

That night Mr. Musso explained the color of the eyes of the needle fish.
Red Eyes=loaded
Which color sinks and which color floats? Cant find this in my notes. THX
If you’ve missed these seminars they’ve been great.
↓Found it:
Red Eyes=loaded (evil eyes for evil days)
Green Eyes=Float (like a lillypad)
Black Eyes=sink (like a piece of charcoal)
At least this is the way I’m going to remember.
↓Well said!
“Red Eyes=loaded (evil eyes for evil days)
↓Green Eyes=Float (like a lillypad)
Black Eyes=sink (like a piece of charcoal)”
Fantastic! I wish I was there for the whole thing. What interesting pointers.
