First Fish on Salty's needle!

Got my first fish tonight while fishing one of #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&s blurple stubby needlefish! Ive had the needle for a few months now but just never fished the thing. Im so stubborn and pretty much only use the plugs that produced for me in the past (poppers, small mambos, Storms) I was fishing the upper bay tonight and it was rather slow with nothing showing accept for the swirl every now and then. I coundlt get Chit on anything! Then first cast with saltys needle and Bang!! nice little schoolie....a few cast later another small bass....and to end the evening a nice Blue to go with it! Lots of swirls around the plug too. My question is....how do most you guys fish these small needles? I didnt know the propper tecnique so i was doing a walk the dog kinda retrieve switching up speeds and just trying to leave a nice wake, just constlty twiching the rod during the retrieve....Seemed to work great tonight....Is the the correct retrive for this lure is my question? and what might be a good color choice for daytime? Anyway, i was just pumped and impressed with the needle so thought id give props to #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&!
