Skunked at Strawberry? Heck 'YES', who hasn't. And more than once if you fish it often enough.
I think you answered your own thoughts about the low pressure. Strawberry can be fickle enough let alone fishing during a low pressure peroid.
Besides trolling did you try any other tube jigs besides white or tipped with a worm etc. I'm sure you probably did though. It's just one of those days when pulling weeds at home is more productive 'NOT', it's always fun to get out and fish with friends even if the fishing sucks.
Some of my best days at Strawberry have been just before a storm is coming and the pressure starts to drop. Sounds like you might have just missed a good fishing time.
Curious though, had the wind been blowing from the north with the meadows being so thick with algae. I fish the meadows 90% of the time and it can get bad but if you move around a lot you can usually find some water that isn't quite as bad. Like you I have certain areas that fish better than others. And I've also done well when the algae is thick. Go figure.
The best fishing is just getting started. I'm hoping to get out soon. I've been nursing a bad back and haven't fished for a couple of months.
Good luck on your next trip.
