mostly, skunkings have taught me when not to go to a certain spot. you fish spot x with a y wind and the tide at z hours down enough times without getting anything, and you learn not to fish there under those conditions.

sometimes it just forces you to change things up and reminds you that the things you think you "know", you only really "think". for example, after getting skunked at a spot that's been really productive for me for most of august, i said %$%$%$%$ it and headed out there 2 hours "early" one night and killed them for the first hour. the next night went out 3 hours early and killed them for two hours. now i look at that area much differently. if i was getting fish at the usual time, i never would have tried going out earlier.
