One thing leads to the other and so on.
What I'm trying to say is like this, a couple of examples - magazines like On the Water(for example) advertise or used to advertise websites that have forums so newbies see them and read and learn about places to fish(after all, you can't expect tackle shops to be your only source of spots). Another example, going back 6 years there is a certain outdoor writer who speaks at a fishing show and mentions how much fun it is to chat on a certain website, that peaks the interest again in those not in the know. It's all about learning what you don't know. It's the quest for bigger fish that motivates people to find more information, and having all the info easily accessible on the net is so simple anyone can do it as long as you can read, ya don't even have to have a computer at home, just go to the library or something like that.
So once the masses find these forums they begin to read and then post and then learn they have to be careful what they post because the walls have eyes.

You don't see any lines forming to get stickers at beaches that have unlimited amounts sold. The Race used to be alot quieter because it is so out of the way, all the way out on the tip of the Cape, now people are just more willing to travel by vehicle to get there.

I don't know , maybe it is only the internet users blaming the internet.
