Lakes locking up this early?

[chuckinduck]

Just returned from deer camp with high hopes of spending my second week of my two week vacation chasing ducks. Looks like mother natures going to throw me a curveball because almost all of my spots are iced over. The 10 day forecast shows no sign that a thaw is in the works. Its been a long time since I can remember my spots being covered in ice to the point its unhuntable. I've busted ice to get out plenty of times, but this year seems a little excessive. Anyone else seeing the same problems? Guess I better put an icebreaker on the front of the boat.

I live up by Traverse City and I can tell you that the only open huntable water is the "BIG WATER".
Found a beach used my Avery Powerhunter blinds and shot a few Buffies the other day. You need a dog though. Water drops off fast.

lots of open water at the north end of the SLP zone. little stuff is frozen, but that only helps up here.

Everything around here open to hunting is locked up pretty tight.....water that ain't movin' that is:whistle:
