I've notice that in the spring and fall there are small boats usually islanders and fishermen, and also cruisers. Islanders brave the cold, fishermen don't feel cold and cruisers have canvas and isenglass.

The bow-riders and PWC usually wait until schools out and the water is warm. A cold spring has delayed their arrival.

The gas prices may be having a similar effect. Islanders, fishermen and cruisers have to use gas or we can't enjoy our lakefront property. Dayboaters may choose to just go to the beach instead of pulling the tube around.
