Dave,
I completely understand the skunkaroo feeling. I was hanging the big 0 for my first 3 trips this year. I think my biggest problem was Hidehunter catching all of those big bass and so I figured I needed to try that. I finally gave in yesterday to chasing some panfish instead and traded in my 7 wt for the 2wt and hit a small pond at lunch yesterday. Finally connected with my first fish of the year and low and behold it was a 22" catfish that looked like it had swallowed a softball. Needless to say it was some fun on the 2wt. I also caught a decent crappie in the 11' range. Not bad for a 1/2 hour during the middle of the day. Most importantly no more skunk smell!
