Dubbed as the poor man's permit, these hungry little speedsters have no problems eating flies, whereas unlike their distant cousins the permit, these fish are happy eaters and nowhere near as spooky.
Their name is very descriptive of their fast 'darting' action towards a fly and the fight once hooked.
Dart are usually found along sandy shorlines next to gutters and rocky outcrops, clear beaches and sandy points.
They are relatively easy to see with their dark fins giving away their position and they're often found in small groups of similar sized fish.
