PP is one of the few BB that have survived the rise of social media. There are many out there like Bloody Decks that survive with a wide national audience but those that are about a particular area such as western Washington are not what they once were. Posting up on a fishing trip is something I stopped after getting a whole lot of new friends my favorite being the guy that actually anchored 10 ft behind my boat while I was releasing a fish. So things change but I think for myself it is the ever-growing number of fishers from outside the area. As other areas, particularly Puget Sound continue to decline folks look for a place to fish. It has gotten way past worse in the Grays Harbor area with the destruction of the Willapa Fall Chinook fishery by WDFW. Add to it the growth in guided fishing on the Chehalis as a whole and we now have traffic jams!

So posting fishing stories with locations is not a good idea, sad but true. So PP is part of Bob’s business and I appreciate it as one can still address issues that are about salmonids on the coast. It allows for discussion and different points of view and to share insight. Social media whatever your choice is more like show and tell time. Both serve a purpose but with different objectives and outcomes.
