Triple header

[NJ219bands]

Went fishing on the Manasquan Inlet north jetty this evening in the rain during a small craft advisory and incoming tide. Got wet. Only saw one large commercial fishing boat go up the inlet at night. 7 surfers were there before dusk. 7 other fishermen were nearby. I started getting hits late in the day. When I yanked on a hit near the rocks, a small striped bass flew out of the ocean. On my 108th cast of the day at 5:40 PM, I hooked a triple header. After I walked the fish to the beach, a 26” striped bass was on the top teaser made by my brother John, the second teaser made by my friend Jack was missing and my Bomber Long A-16 was missing. 15 lb test leader is too light for striped bass. I tagged the striped bass, then threw it into the inlet.
