Fishing "reports" from any business related to fishing should always be looked at with a grain of salt. I mean when is the last time you saw a report from a charter boat that said "fishing sucks right now". As a favor I've been giving weekly "grapevine" surfcasting reports to The Fisherman Magazine for many, many years. The late Tim Coleman started these "grapevine" reports where he would call a list of friends with no fishing related business connections for "general" reports. In our weekly conversations he mentioned more than once that the individual reports he would get were much more accurate than those he would get from his paid advertisers. Tim was a realist and he always knew when someone was spewing misinformation or yanking his chain. He had to walk a fine line with those clients that would pay for advertisements in his magazine. Just the nature of the game he would say. I learned much from Timmy and for that I'm grateful.
