Hunting Sunday/Monday/Tuesday. Water temp I'm guessing currently sits in the 40's. Some of the areas I'm looking at hunting and have hunted on foot in the past boat access would make it way way easier. This is pretty far up the lake and it's not a super deep lake, assume it will freeze up quickish.
I know ice formation is highly variable, but I'm thinking at first glance, borderline but leaning no. Safety wise, don't worry I've done a lot of cold weather boating but on the ice-out side, not ice-in. Ice-in is a little trickier and happens more gradually. Not really wanting to tow 4+ hours only to have to leave it on the trailer. 17' aluminum v hull, I suppose in theory I can bust through a little skim ice but don't really want to I'm not worried about icy ramp too much I can prepare for that.
