I usually go out on weekday evenings or weekends, but sometimes things dont seem consistent, for example, last Tuesday evening couldn't get a bite, Thursday evening I caught 12 keepers.

I think you nailed the classic thinking. Like Jeff said though, it's impossible to always accurately predict the right place/right time. "Zero is hero" is right.....An 8 hour day can produce a 2 minute frenzy that fills the box.
I like morning and evenings because I've always had small boats or a kayak to fish from, so shallow water has been where I've fished and had great luck. A 20" Rockfish on a topwater lure is awful big fun in a 10' kayak.
Tidal movement has always been better for me when fishing the upper Choptank, Pocomoke or Nanticoke Rivers. When there's no movement, there are way fewer bites. Just my experience.
