I still suspect that many do, at least from what I have heard. Apparently the belief that this leads to the chance of a good catch, or the chance of a big fish still lures the gullible to chase after these reports.
What some fail to appreciate is that such reports are several weeks old, and have already been under the cosh for some time. I have seen this scenario repeated over and over through the years. The reality is, it's neither the fault of the weeklies who report such things, given that such reports are often several weeks old before they see type, or those who are searching for a venue avidly.
It's a sad aspect, but in my book true, and often leads to disappointment.
