Whenever my skill isn't high enough, the message is "Your fish got away!", not, "skill not high enough". I've never seen the message you're getting, and I've done a fair bit of fishing.
"Your fish got away!" means you are on the cusp of mastering the fishing zone you are in. You may lose a few but you'll still catch a few. But, try to fish in Azshara when your fishing skill is still, say, 50, and you'll get "Skill not high enough." i.e. "try again later!"
