One more thought on inshore tuna:

The original guys hunting bft and skippies inshore in small boats off RI for the past 20 years or so had tighter lips then surfcasters on the Block in the 80's. Very few people did it but those that did were dedicated to it, guides mostly. VERY tight circle and to say you'd be out on your ass with no info in a heartbeat if you opened your mouth is an understatement. No one really knew when tuna were close because no one said anything. No ProJo, no Internet. The only reason I really mention the past few years is because it's common knowledge now. The old ways of being completely tight lipped about the arrival of fast movers inshore should continue to be honored.

It's one thing to discuss tuna after the fact, a whole different game if you talk about it while it's happening. Talking about it after used to even be off limits.
