  • "Cooler Weather Brings New Fishing Opportunities on Lake Winnebago"

    "Cooler Weather Brings New Fishing Opportunities on Lake Winnebago"
    Nov 23 2024
    As of November 23, 2024, here’s the latest fishing report for Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin.

    **Weather and Conditions:**
    Today is expected to be cooler, feeling more like winter than the unseasonable warmth we've seen lately. This change in weather might just be what we need to see some improved fishing conditions.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at 4:23 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the water.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday was a slow day for sturgeon spearing, but there were some notable catches. On Lake Winnebago, 15 fish were harvested, including 3 juvenile females, 2 adult females, and 10 males. The Upriver Lakes saw 10 fish harvested, with 3 juvenile females, 2 adult females, and 5 males. The largest fish of the day was a 62.5-pound, 62.5-inch male sturgeon caught by Jamie Morgan at the Southwest Winnebago registration station.

    For other species, walleyes are active and can be found in the Wolf River and transitioning back into the lake. The white bass run is also starting to pick up.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For walleyes, dragging crawlers with Northland Fishing Tackle Thumper Jigs in orange, gold, and green colors has been highly effective. Carolina rigs with a 1/16-ounce weight and a gold hook are also working well. Hair jigs in purple, black, orange, and chartreuse are also good options.

    For white bass, jigs paired with plastics and crankbaits are good, but pulling flies, especially in purple, has been the best method.

    **Hot Spots:**
    Focus your efforts around the southern portion of Lake Winnebago, particularly near the Southwest Winnebago and Pipe registration stations. The Wolf River, from Fremont down into Lake Winnebago, is also a hot spot for walleyes.

    Given the cooler temperatures, today might be a good day to get out and try your luck. Just remember to bundle up and stay safe on the water.

  • Walleye Winning at Lake Winnebago: Anglers Reel in Catches Amid Mild November Conditions

    Walleye Winning at Lake Winnebago: Anglers Reel in Catches Amid Mild November Conditions
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing scene at Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin.

    First off, the sturgeon spearing season has already concluded, so we're focusing on other species now. The weather today is relatively calm, with clear skies and mild temperatures, ranging from the mid-50s to low 60s, according to the National Weather Service forecast.

    For Lake Winnebago, there isn't a tidal report since it's a freshwater lake, but water levels and temperatures are crucial. Currently, the water temperature is around the mid-40s to low 50s, which is typical for this time of year.

    Sunrise today is at about 6:45 AM, and sunset will be around 4:20 PM, giving you a good window for fishing.

    Fish activity has been decent, especially for walleyes. Yesterday, anglers reported catching walleyes using various tactics. Trolling classic crawler harnesses on calmer days and crankbaits like Flicker Shads, Shad Raps, and Northland Rumble Shads on windy days have been effective. The best colors for both spinners and crankbaits are pink, perch, and white.

    For casting, pitching jigs, especially with a 2-inch tube style ned trailer in chartreuse and purple, has been super effective in the weeds. On windy days, fish the wind-blown structure up close to shore and the shallows, targeting rock piles and rubble.

    In terms of specific catches, while the sturgeon spearing season is over, recent reports indicate that walleyes are the main target. Anglers have been catching a mix of sizes, with the best locations being the reefs and mud flats, as well as deeper mid-lake flats on calmer days.

    Hot spots include the southern portion of Lake Winnebago, particularly around the Southwest Winnebago registration station area, which has seen consistent activity. The Pipe registration stations and the areas around the weed edges and rock piles are also worth checking out.

    For bait, nightcrawlers, minnows under a bobber, and jigs with plastics are good choices. Crankbaits that dive into the 8-10 foot depth range are also effective.

    Overall, it's a good time to be out on Lake Winnebago, especially if you're targeting walleyes. Just be sure to check the current weather and water conditions to adjust your tactics accordingly.

  • Lake Winnebago Fishing Report: Sturgeon Spearing Wraps Up, New Opportunities Arise

    Lake Winnebago Fishing Report: Sturgeon Spearing Wraps Up, New Opportunities Arise
    Nov 21 2024
    As of November 21, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing scene at Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin.

    First off, let's talk about the time of day. Sunrise is around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be about 4:20 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the water. Since Lake Winnebago is a freshwater lake, there are no tidal reports to consider.

    The weather has been quite unpredictable lately, especially with the sturgeon spearing season wrapping up. Yesterday saw cooler temperatures, which was a welcome change for spearers, but the overall harvest has been slow due to uncooperative weather conditions.

    Fish activity has been variable, but there are still some good catches to be had. Yesterday, on Lake Winnebago, only 6 lake sturgeon were harvested, consisting of 2 juvenile females, 2 adult females, and 2 males. The majority of these were registered at the Southwest Winnebago and Pipe registration stations, indicating that the southern portion of the lake is still the best area to focus on.

    For other species like walleye and perch, which are more active during this time, you might want to use jigs tipped with minnows or small jigs with plastic tails. Crayfish and small crankbaits can also be effective, especially in the crisp fall conditions.

    If you're targeting sturgeon, the best approach is still spearing, but for other species, here are some hot spots: The southern part of Lake Winnebago, particularly around the Southwest Winnebago and Pipe areas, has been seeing consistent activity. For walleye and perch, try the deeper holes and weed edges, especially around the Fond du Lac and Oshkosh areas.

    In summary, while the sturgeon spearing season is ending, there's still plenty of fishing to be done on Lake Winnebago. Keep an eye on the weather, and don't hesitate to try different lures and baits to see what works best for you. Good luck out there
