The earlier the fish feed in the morning, the more likely you will be to get a few good bites later in the day about dusk.

Try a pancake weight to cover more territory and let your rig move more naturally in the current.  Bait with small shrimp, pieces of bloodworm, or squid.  Be sure to pay some extra attention to the drop off where the waves break on the edge of the sand, and you are very likely to find sea mullet, pompano, spot, and flounder who have come up to find the bait fish that tend to congregate in these areas.

It is also a good idea to take some time to talk to the locals and visit some of the bait and tackle shops in the areas in which you plan to fish.  Relying on the people who fish these areas regularly will definitely put you in the right areas, and point you in the right direction as far as bait and techniques are concerned, because they really can vary from day to day and location to location.
