If they are, I hope it's from a boat. Unless maybe in the upper UP.

Mickey:

I am considering going out to test a few spots later this week. One small lake/pond I have fished before usually freezes up quickly.If I do go out I can let you know how it is. I would prefer to send to you by email the location though.

Fished houghton yesterday (12/6), was a solid 6 inches. Making ice constantly right now. Bet you'll see guys driving out in a couple weeks or sooner.
