Matt and I set up on a nice washout around 1 o'clock.  We were using fresh shrimp and trying to rake some fleas.  First cast, Matt hooks a nice ladyfish, which we saved for cutbait.  Over the next couple of hours we landed a dozen or more bluefish on ladyfish strips, and caught a wide variety on the shrimp.  The shrimp caught fish were 2 pomps(1 spit the hook on shore and flopped back into the water), catfish, a small shark, and a few 'mystery' bites.  As sunset approached the whiting bite turned on.  As a side note, Matt got a new surf rod and reel for his birthday and this was it's first trip.  His new rod hadn't gotten bit a single time, and we figured it was the new gear curse.  Back to the whiting...we decided to cast his new surf rod in close in an effort to at least catch a whiting.  Next thing you know the rod doubles over with a fish that's obviously not a whiting.  A few minutes later a nice slot red hits the beach.  We finished the trip around 5:30 with a double on whiting.  Final tally:  many, many bluefish, 6 or so catfish, a couple of pomps, ladyfish, a small shark, and 12-15 whiting. Here's a few pics.
