Quality, not quantity.
you can pull the bigger ones out of the school with a large shad crept along the bottom. but the biggest fish in that school might be only 33 inches.

Throw a big horse sized eel out there to cull for larger stuff first. If nothing takes it, move on.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

I dunno if John would appreciate me posting a pic here.

Its somewhere between barely castable to uncastable. If we were talking cigars, it would have to be a 60 ring minimum.

My likelyhood to move would depend on where I was and at what time. My mobility would enter into it too. For example if I was on footpatrol on the outer coast at night in a spot that has access to nice water and produces good size fish, I would not venture too far from that area because I know there is most likely a fair amount of bait in the general area, and my lack of mobility limits my time and options. I would tend to fish areas where the better ones are likely to hang as the ffreak and spincognito mentioned.

My answer would be different if I was up inside an estuary or even a bay, where usually smaller fish hang, with no access to deep water.

(If your in a boat it doesn't matter because as we all know, boat fish don't count Really though it's what ever makes you happy, and you said you had a blast so it's tough to do much better than that)
