I'm definitely NOT an Ice Guy, I'm usually hoping for open trolling water into January (or all winter if possible).

But, for you "ice-holes" (I mean that in total jest!!!) Here is a nice little outlook page you might want to bookmark, I think its updated about every two weeks. From the report, it looks like a good ice season is possible if La Nina ever kicks in, but it will likely be later than earlier since the water is so warm right now.
