I take in all info in total, that is I listen to everyone in the tackleshops and VHF, dock reports and newspapers and buddies and recent personal results. I can generally weed out the over the top reports. But if it gels with what I heard elsewhere it can sway my thinking for the next trip.
I think you are foolish to ignore all reports, there is some solid info out there you just have to weed thru the noise.
Most shops will not outright lie to you. If they do, don't go back. They may not tell you everything but if you linger for a while when athe local sharpie weighs a fish or drops by and appear to look like you don't know what is going on, it is amazing the details you can pick up out of the background noise. Successful fishermen like to talk, few actually keep it all to themselves. Its all part of the game.
