If you went out looking for a fish and didnt find any, that is a skunk.
Questions I have are:
- is it a skunk if you dont catch the fish you are targeting but catch another kind. (ie. catch a croaker when you were black drum fishing, sea robins while fishing for flounder, bluefish while fishing for stripers)?
- Is it a skunk if you only catch trash fish like rays, spiney dogfish, sea robins, toadfish?
- is it a skunk if you dont catch a keeper-sized fish even if you dont keep them? (do undersize fish count)
I was skunked Tuesday on the bay at BPL as we didnt even get a knockdown. Didnt want to take the time or fuel to visit a wwd and wanted to put out a trolling spread to see if a few early birds were around. It was still a great day on the water! I tend to get skunked when my father drives down from NJ to fish with me. That is my guaranteed omin for a tough day of fishing.
