Differerent locales need different retrieves, no doubt. Deep water spots I usually dead stick or barely move it most times. In current I feed line out. Other spots 4-8' water its a slow retrieve. My favorite spot in Gansett is all on a slow retrieve, many times they hit it just after you start the retrieve.
If nothing seems to work, try the high speed retrieve. I took one of my biggest surf fish ever on a lightning fast retrieve, so fast you'd think nothing could catch up to it.

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