Lakes around here are getting skinned over too. The weather report is sounding shady at best for fast freeze ups.
Keeping our fingers crossed.

Yup.  Every night this week I've heard the wind whistling outside.  One bitter cold, still night is all I ask and my local lake will be locked up tight.  One large open hole above 45-60 fow as of this morning.

At least the weather report looks right for now. I'll spend one MORE day rechecking equipment. Charging batteries for the camera and flasher, sharpening hooks, and spooling up that new reel. We should be fishing next week. I've been doing inventory on small lakes just in case !!!
