Dilemma: Do you leave fish to find fish?

[fishbones]

The age old quality vs. quantity dilema. I have no problem leaving smaller school fish to look for bigger fish. Especially this time of year, when you can pretty much assure yourself of not getting skunked. I'm going out this weekend and am going to look for big ones first. If we don't find any, we will go to some spots where I know we can get some consistent action and maybe pick up a few nice size fish. If that still doesn't work, I'll bite the bullet and stop at a spot on the way home where I take newbies to guarantee that they will catch something. All small fish, but it gets my buddies hooked on saltwater fishing. I just hope if I end up there, no one I know sees me.

i'd probably leave after getting decent, say 10-25 lb, fish regularly in a area for a while with nothing bigger thrown in. i'd get bored if it was too easy (not saying its easy, but you know what I mean). you can always go back to them later.
