Sometimes the skunk is more educational than the success. My two trips this week have been skunks following four successful trips last week.
One trip this week was to fish under conditions that typically produce in spot A, but with no avail. Second trip was a bit different just to see if anything had changed in terms of fish being present in spot B, no avail there either.
I could have easily returned to the same place I'd been taking decent fish, but wanted to keep a couple other spots honest. I also wanted to take a stab at a real big fish. I've learned the bigger the target, the more failure you'll likely endure before you hit one. So far this week I'm 0 for 2, but at least I reaffirmed some things that may pay off in the coming weeks.
