Grant,
Living year round in NH and dealing with the Stae Bird is somewhat a right of passage.
I don't live on the lake, but have a cold water stream on my property and the answer is: BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I was outside trying to do a little yard work Monday evening and they just about chewed my ears off.
As you know, just get a couple hundred feet from shore on the lake and they are not an issue. In your case, you can always dive - but I bet they are waiting when you come up.
Enjoy the birds,
John
