This kind of stuff has been around a long time just in a different mode. But much easier now with modern communication.
On Block in 1985 we had a group of RI guys we all referred to as "the white coats" because they all wore white rain slickers. They would park their camper at the base of the bluff near SW point just a mere 20 steps from the water. One of them would watch the crowd fishing the bar at night while the others slept. The lookout would watch for neck lights - if he saw anyone hookup they would all come scurrying out of the buggy like rats. None of the regulars liked them. The NY gang were smart and were used to that sort of thing at Montauk - they told everyone on the bar not to use their lights when landing fish. That seemed to work and I know the white coats missed more that a few good bites. It was my first lesson in surf stealth.
