Ice fisherman in parts of the Lower Peninsula have to start removing ice shanties over the next week or so. Shanties on Lake St. Clair need to be off the ice no later than sunset on Sunday, February 27, 2022, or sooner if ice conditions require it.
All ice shanties in St. Clair, Macomb, Sanilac, and Lapeer counties must be removed by midnight on Tuesday, March 1, 2022 or sooner.
Once ice fishing season comes to an end, fisherman can start planning for spring fishing season and beyond. The Michigan Secretary of State wants to remind Michiganders that watercraft registration can take place online now or at one of the self-service stations located at the Port Huron Secretary of State Office or the Marysville Meijer store.
It’s also time to prep for safety on the water by signing up for a boater safety class through the Michigan DNR. Boating safety classes are required for those born after June 30, 1996 who haven’t yet received their certificate, and it is available online at www.boatEd.com.
