what type of bait was present? Try throwing a big danny to try to raise a bigger fish. If nothing hits it in a few casts and you want bigger fish, move on.

I have a problem with this question every time, I am out to catch fish so leaving fish to find larger fish is a tough choice for me. I usually leave when it slows up

There are so many days where you catch nothing for stretches. I say fish until they stop biting. As long as you are enjoying your time, stay.

I like to change my gear accordingly. If the fish are small, I break out my lightest twig or get some valuable experience with the fly rod. I hate to leave fish to find fish. Who knows, maybe you'll be surprised by a monster hitting your light tackle and really have a fight on your hands.

I ran into the same situation this past saturday, we were catching
16"to20" fish one after the other, I was having a great time on light gear, we then moved on down river to hit some even better action,
40" + fish busting on the surface, it made an already good day great. Everybody was hooking up.
It seems to me that I very seldom catch a large when all others are small, it is also the same when catching
12" to 16" schoolies there does not seem to be any 24" fish mixed in, I believe the smaller fish are to much competition for the larger. I have had limited success going deeper below feeding fish to pick up a larger one but mostly under bluefish!
