Guppie's NJ Fishing Web - Oops, forgot 12-9-09

Forgot to put this in yesterday. Started in the dark at Gillikins, there was only one truck at the road so I fished the hole there. Did nothing so I started working my way down the beach with no luck. By first light I was at my favorite spot, the bait was there, the birds were there but the fish weren't. Went a little past the bathing area where I saw Frankie and Big Ed nailing bass. Started throwing an Ava and did nothing till Frankie told me they were using Mambo Minnows. Put on a green Mambo and got two hits right away then a fish. By now the sun was up pretty high so I went back up the beach and put out bait. Got six nice sized shorts including a 27 and a 27 1/2.
