If I were to move to a new location and abstain from the Internet I would do what I did when I moved to my current location 16 years ago. Put in my time and get to know the people at a local bait and tackle shop.
With regard to my fishing grapevine, while time has taken a toll on some of the individuals in my circle there have been some new additions as well (none through fishing sites) so I would say that things are progressing normally (for me).
As for the question on gear there is no doubt that I know more about gear or what is available because of the Internet.
Based on what I have observed over the last several years I would probably be just about where I am now (fishing wise) except for a couple of rods that I have that I would probably not have without information from the Internet.
