When the going gets tough what do you do?

Lots of good ideas in this thread. Fishing shadow lines on bridges has paid off for me when the moon is shining brightly.

on the shadow line note, wouldn't it be a good idea to fish bridges/piers during a full moon period simply because there is ALWAYS light present at those spots and a full moon wouldn't necessarily hinder the fishing?

Good idea fish moving water..Moon lit nights can hinder the bridge bite as the baitfish that gather under the light can spread out under the glow of a moon.Still the structure of a bridge an it's enviroment will always hold some fish.
I like to fish the moving water first an foremost.I feel moon lit nights like the one just past do present some problems but not as bad as in the open surf.I know alberto likes the slack..Thats way too short of a time frame for me.
I like to fish what I call the edges of the tide.The 1.5 -2 hr period before an after the slack..I can still use lures in my presentations An I have taken some of my best fish on he moon..
Dark moons an efforesense can be way worse...
