Hmmm - if the internet sites were shut down for three years I could:
Not need to answer 400 pms in 2 weeks time
I could get more work done around the house
I could convince my wife that maybe fishing is not an obsessive disorder
I could delay onset of carpal tunnel
But, I would reduce the likelyhood of meeting the next Clammer (well that's not true because there is only one
&^$// Clammer
), but I might not meet the next Slip, DZ, Bloocrab, GB, FWW, etc...
"Spot talk" wouldn't be too much of an issue as we really don't do much of it here.
The geography I cover would be smaller and the people I would meet would be more localized, not covering as much ground. As it is here, partially thru the internet I fish from Naps to Block thru RI onto the Cape, up thru Boston into ocassionally Maine. But I would also be more efficient in my own backyard - maybe that's part of the trade off. I cover more places because I meet more quality people spread out over hundreds of miles. That's very cool.
But more than anything, I wouldn't be working late nights on the site and could get more good nights sleep (at least in the off season
)

I don't know, I think some of the better tackleshops probably do better as a result of the internet. I think the superstores impact the B&T's much more than the net does...
