Go-around should be very high on the "things to consider-list" when you feel the airplane bounching. I know personally two cases when a pilot tried to recover from a bounce by quickly lowering the nose, both of wich resulted in a nose-gear landing, followed by a complete failiure of the nose leg.

If its a high bounce (10ft+) and ALOT of runway ahead (2 km +) then its probably ok to try and recover, else: go-around
