Swallowtail Dart
Their diet varies with food availability with their most common targets being worms and pippis, however when on offer they will happily take small baitfish, surf crabs, prawns, yabbies and the flesh of larger fish. Deep gutters with heavy white wash from breaking waves on the outside bank are an ideal spot to catch these small but tenacious fish. The darts mastery of the waves can be witnessed visually at times when schools of these fish run down the face of breaking waves, sliding off to the side just an instant before the wave slams heavily into a sandbank.
Sometimes despised by tailor fishermen for picking at quality baits such as pilchards meant for bigger fare, they should not be discarded as rubbish fish for their eating qualities when skinned are easily equal to or in my opinion far better than tailor. How to Guide - Fishing for Dart
