We had a very similar day. Left the pier at 2pm, headed north and had lines out 20 minutes later. By 2:30 a fish hit a heavy deep twister tail in 50' +/- of water but we missed it.
Ended up with one heavy 23 and 9/10 fish...lol.
Back at the pier about 6pm.
There was a TON of boats fishing just south of the Key Bridge yesterday.
