Perserverance is the hallmark of a better striper fisherman. If you got the big stink on you and you don't press on you'll never learn anything.
Like someone said before just because you are not catching doesn't mean they were not there. The onset of the stink should be the trigger to think harder before you wet the next line
. As the old adage says, "fish smarter not harder".
Sometimes all it takes is a color change, a slower presentation, tide specificity and voila, fish where you thought there weren't any!
Catching the big stink is just as helpful sometimes as is bailing them one after another and most important it will humble even the biggest of heads.
