Nice work... sounds like you learned enough to slam them next time. A couple more tips are to seek out the liveliest and most spastic bait in the well, and change bait constantly. Grab a couple dines and hold them in a cup or in your pocket then chum them right where your are going to cast your line. You should constantly be feeding your bait line. If you don't feel it swimming on that light 20-30# flouro, change it.

Check out this video my dad made on a yf trip last summer. He gives some good commentary about how the live bait tactics change as the "bite wears on". Sometimes they will only bite just as it hits the surface... like at min 6:40.
