Steve,
If only it were that easy to figure out. That's what is great about surf casting - you just never know if what you're doing is wrong or whether the fish are just not there. I've been proved wrong on many occasions when I thought the beach was lifeless only to have someone come by and do a job on them by using another method.

Bridge fishing is another story altogether - I could write a book about it.

yes, then there is that thought that, well, maybe they just aren't here, but if I leave, will they show up when I'm gone???

Learn to understand the timing of moonrise and moonset. The moon will rise and set at certain times just like the sun. Based on this it is possible to fish moonless periods of darkness. They may be after sunset or before sunrise. I believe tonight the moon rises around 11:30 pm and will set tomorrow around 10:40 am. This would be an evening to fish from sunset on for a moonless dark period. I also would try areas with good movement of water and deep water close by such as outflows, jetties, breachways, the mouth of bays and rivers, etc...
We touched on in the past about knowing spots and ones to avoid on a full moon low tide and like Mike said using eels more around the bright moon. When possible I would also employ other methods mentioned like fishing shadow lines and using light colored plugs.
Also knowing what bait is present and presenting/mimicing something similar.
