4 times fishing and just the skunk?
well I must really suck, because I must have made over 50 trips to catch a bass before I got my first one
But it was before the internet and before there were alot of fish, the limit was 36" then. I kinda figured things out as I went along, I guess I was a real Stumblie.
You have recieved alot of correct advice so far I would say, better luck next time. Fishing is a constant learning experience.
