State officials are reminding ice anglers of approaching deadlines for removing shanties from frozen Michigan waters.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources says shanties must be retrieved from waters in the northern Lower Peninsula by midnight Thursday.

That's also the deadline for waters on the Michigan-Wisconsin boundary.

Elsewhere in the Upper Peninsula, the deadline is March 31.

If your shanty falls through the ice, you can be jailed and fined.
