Patrick, I'm not too sure how thick your blood runs with fishing but it's probably a little diluted as of late. I think you've tried so hard to read every angle of fishing and improve upon those angles that you are overwhelmed with choices as you approach the zone between land and sea (uh, harbor). You get to your spot and are so wracked with indecision by what to do, that in the end, you do nothing. This is not a dig but I'm almost willing to bet that your fishing efforts are as scattered as your online time. Your obviusoly frustrated based on your recent posts.
When you reach a stage like that, you can recover from almost any situation by going back to fundamentals. The basic and near certain things that everything else sprouts from. Back to basics, KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid), all those old sayings mean something... A pitcher's new fangle curveball is working that good afterall? He might go back to old reliable until he gets that curve going again... Same thing with fishing...
Here are my recommendations for you (keeping in mind I don't know your spots):
Go back to basics:
When you go fishing, try for a while with bait like clams (the better quality you have, the better it works) on circle hooks and worms. And try some light stuff like sluggos, shads and Cocahoes (also known as the pearl Berkley Power Mullett). Rig simple teasers and fish when the fish are most active first light and before and after sunset... I know there are some bass and blues in that are because I know people that fish it.
Just sit back and relax. Revaluate you fishing situation, take a deep breath and a consistent approach and get yourself out of your slump. Don't try to reinvent the wheel, it's already round...
Good luck...
