Observing sudden changes, and talking with people face to face
About 2-3 years ago, I was on Nauset beach one Thursday night and noticed and unusual number of people, for a Thursday night.
Now, I am out there several nights a week, and kind of recognize vehicles and such, these were strangers, not regulars... on one of my cruises, I got stopped and asked directions to a particular piece of beach! WTF? I asked why... Well, I'm from Boston and at work today, I got an email with a link to some fishing board, said there is acre's of bass on this spot... now, we are a good 8 miles from this so called spot, and he will not be able to access it, unless he walks 2 miles....
That night I had the oppurtunity to hear from several of these people where their info came from, directly, or indirectly, it came from that one message board... Next day, I heard from a well known local what the source was, the arguement between friends it had caused, and the "edited" post was all that was left... damage was done... 3 or 4 days of googan traffic, not even close to the original spot.
Race.... I have been sought out by people, probably because a lot of guys down here, and guys I know from off-cape, who use the beach, know I am active in beach access... anyway, even tho I am not getting the sticker, got shut out Monday, and it ain't worth 8-10 hours,
FOR ME , to get it... anyway, I digress.. I am hearing about the big lines, lots of complaints... where did you hear, I always ask... one of the big factors is the net, straight from the horses mouths... Yes, there are other factors, but remember, only a small % post, thousands look, cut, paste email chain their buds, forwards go from there..
I've seen more, but for me, I have typed enough...
wether you agree, or disagree with my logic, you asked, and that is part of my way of thinking, I'm sure I'll get picked apart and called stupid and such.... But, I do not care... I know what I've seen and heard...
