Anybody else notice uncrowded conditions this summer?

My theory, and it's pretty well untestable, is that even though fuel
prices are down about $1 a gallon from what they shot up to last
spring those high fuel prices may have occured at a time when people
were making summer vacation plans. Could be that a lot of folks just
assumed that running their boat would be "out of the question" at $4-5
per gallon for fuel, and made vacation plans that involved flying to
Hawaii or something else instead.

I konw we discussed pricing last spring and I was noticing a lot of
the bass tournament types weren't traveling as far or as often as they
had even the previous year.

Even the local tournaments have noticed a decrease in entries for the
Fall tournaments.

Some guys I know are working the FLW Strpier Tournament are not
traveling to more than two tournaments hoping to make their money on
the local tournaments to place for the big tournament.
