Where would we be without the internet and angling boards in particular?
In my case, I first learned you could actually fish for carp on purpose. I stumbled upon a carp site while looking for catfishing information. Trust me - In the US there are huge numbers of folks who don't know anything at all about fishing for carp. I had been one for 56 years and an angler for 54 of those years.
Also, Trev will be the 4rd Brit I will have had the pleasure of meeting and fishing with when he comes in May. No chance at all of doing that in pre-net days.
From the looks of things, I'd have to say you folks meet lots of interesting fellow-anglers and do the occasional fish-in that wouldn't have happened if we were internet-less.
