I think he was discussing honest fishing reports- not opinions on how to catch more fish and why some dont catch fish.
.
MIsleading reports have been around forever. Few PB captains are going to publish lies, since the fars that day would know he lied. And in turn they would NEVER trust a report by him again.
When I ran charters in Belmar, ther would be a few that put reports in the Ledger with Al R, and I knwo they boat did not leave the dock that day. I asked how they did it. They said it was accurate but from another day.
The classic PB Captain line while hawking fares on the dock line was: YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE YESTERDAY.

The captain did his job by getting the boat over the fish(which is evident by the few guys with limits). Watch what the guys who are catching fish are doing and adjust your technique. Some days the fish want a dead slow moving spearing and some days they want a bucktail with a specific bounce. The fish are there. I would bet money that half the weekend crowd on a headboat were not even on the bottom with yesterdays current.
