i'd also say keep it simple... once you find something that works stick with it till you know every strategy worth it weight. For me, it's t&w, this year I've challenged myself to go to new methods because for the past 5 years the majority has been that method. That's why I say give it a shot. Small fish mostly but lots of em.

I'm not a good fisherman but I know that works. Also don't treat the skunk days (even if its all days) as a day lost. Try to learn something new while your on the water. Be it some structure you think might produce at another point in the tide or something related to boating that you kind of "figure out" during the trip. For example,
last weekend we were out in Gloucester harbor and my tube caught a buoy, near a million dollar sailboat, If that wasn't bad enough, it was blowing a consistent 25kts gusting 35 at least. Took all the focus I had to keep the boat in one spot while my buddy pulled the buoy to unhooked the tube. Probably the haryiest spot I've been in and that day, only 3 fish, but I feel I know my boat better, can handle her better, and all around a bit more confidant in what I can do because of that situation. AND i would call that day a BUST in the fishing category.

sorry, kind of rambling. been a long day.
