I got skunked on Guntersville just last month in a tournament. But it does happen from time to time.

I very rarely get skunked I would have to say maybe once or twice a year but I am also the guy that will not leave the lake until I get at least 1 fish and I don't count just any fish it has to be a largemouth or spot or smallmouth to count.

Once or twice a year most years. It has happened twice this year, though...once on Tyler, once on Palestine. I fish almost every weekend, probably close to 120 days per year and on 12-15 different lakes.

Wow, Very good thought...depends if I am pre-fishing or actually in the tournament...I have been skunked twice already in tournaments on Rayburn this year. Truthfully, I have only been skunked during a tourney 4 or 5 times ever, but in pre-fishing or fun fishing...Lots of times...

yes, more then I care to mention. Mostly when it's cold weather. This, so ill say 50/50 when waters cold then when it warms I can normally always find a way to catch one or two This is pretty much my experience as well.
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

Yes, more than I like. Days I don't catch any fish at all are few. Days I don't catch at least one keeper bass are just a few more. Days I don't catch a limit are many.

Don't remember the last time I caught a fish. So for me it happens pretty often.

Been a few times this year, 1 skunk at RayBob 1 skunk at Lville, and only got 1 at. Monticello. Lville was only a 2.5 hour trip, and I will be out tomorrow. Did not catch anything at my winter pond also, but I had to cast over the Ice to get to the water. I usually will at least get an under. 1 or 2 skunks a year.

Fished at Sam Rayburn in the snow for three days, got two bites in three days, caught a 3+ on day one, 0 on day two (after I was smarter), caught a 5+ on day three....some guy in a tournament weighed in 25+ pounds along with other contestants....those guys are really good. I fish at a local lake about three times a week, when the water was 44 degrees, I went days without a bite....can't wait to get back and try to figure it out again.....
