There is a guy in Orleans named Tony Stetzko who does guided shore tours and the rumor is that he knows a little about finding fish.

surfacasting ain't easy. you really gotta work hard for every fish.
some guys on this site make it sound easy, but the guys that catch consistantly have put in the time and have things so dialed in it is just crazy and I imagine that comes from tons of time and experience on the water. you can tell sombody a spot, but just knowing a spot is just once piece of the huge puzzle.

I was in your neck of the woods a couple of weeks ago and fished an outgoing tide for 2 hours in endless flats. Waders paradise. I would guess a yakers paradise as well. I got some general responses from a couple of locals and it helped but really the key is to check out a chart check it out at low tide and just go out and do it. Good luck.

oh yeah, all these spots that you have fished, have you fished them at all stages of the tide? a lot of very productive spots are only productive at a certain tide, you can't just write off a spot if you only fished it once

that.

and have you changed up baits often? i would hope. even if you are gonna be plugging. i find it good to spend a few days chunking. that way you can determine what you want to match up to. or if your presentation is wrong. for instance say you were fishing a spot for a week with no luck. put on a chunk of mack, and bang! they are taking macks and you have been using a mack imitation with no luck, means ya gotta switch up the presentation. maybe instead of a slow twitching top water, you need to make that baby scream through the water at 6ft depth. alot of people will write of spots saying there are no fish there, when in reality the fish are every where. they just arent giving the fish what they want.
