  • Lake Winnebago Fishing Report for May 7, 2025: Walleye, Bass, and Pike Bites Heating Up
    May 7 2025
    Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Winnebago fishing report for Wednesday, May 7, 2025.

    We're experiencing a beautiful early May morning out here on Lake Winnebago, with temperatures starting in the upper 40s and expected to climb into the mid-60s later today. Sunrise was at 5:42 AM, and we'll have daylight until sunset at 8:05 PM, giving you plenty of time on the water. Winds are light today, making for excellent fishing conditions. Lake Winnebago doesn't have tides, but water temperatures continue to rise, sitting in the mid-50s now, which has really activated the gamefish.

    The walleye bite has been strong this past week, particularly during early morning and evening hours. Anglers are reporting good success with jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers near the river mouths. Some folks are also doing well trolling with crawler harnesses in 8-12 feet of water along the east shore.

    Bass fishing continues to be hot right now. Both smallmouth and largemouth are active in the shallows, especially around hard bottoms and early weed growth. The sweet spot seems to be six feet or less, with particular attention to docks where bass are stacking up. Soft plastics like worms and craws have been producing well, along with spinnerbaits and shallow-running crankbaits for covering water quickly.

    Pike action is picking up too, particularly in the northern bays and river mouths where the water is slightly warmer. Larger spinners and swimbaits are triggering some nice strikes, with a few trophy-sized northerns being reported.

    Panfish are becoming more active as well, with crappies and bluegills starting to move into the shallows. Small jigs tipped with waxworms or pieces of nightcrawler under a slip bobber have been the ticket.

    For hot spots, I'd recommend the Asylum Bay area for a mixed bag of walleye and pike, while the Fond du Lac area around the river mouth has been producing consistently as well. Don't overlook the High Cliff State Park shoreline for some quality smallmouth action.

    Local tip: Focus on wind-blown shorelines in the afternoon as the water warms up slightly – this has been triggering some aggressive feeding patterns, especially for walleye.

    Remember your 2025 fishing license and be mindful of size and bag limits. Until tomorrow, this is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and good fishing, folks!

  • Lake Winnebago Fishing Report: Walleye, Panfish, and Big Pike Biting Strong
    May 5 2025
    This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Winnebago fishing report for Monday, May 5th, 2025.

    Weather today is classic early May in east-central Wisconsin. Expect cool mornings, warming into the mid-60s by afternoon, with patchy clouds and a light southwest breeze. Sunrise came at 5:38 am, with sunset expected at 8:05 pm. There’s no tidal action on the inland lake to worry about, but moon phase and that steady warming trend have the fish waking up and hungry after a long winter.

    Fishing activity is running strong across Lake Winnebago right now. Walleye are the main draw and showing up in solid numbers, particularly in that 12- to 23-inch range. Most folks are having the best success working the rock reefs along the western shore early and late in the day. Troll deep-running crankbaits like Deep ThunderSticks, Reef Runners, Wally Divers, and Shad Raps. Focus on colors with blue, purple, chartreuse, orange, or go with natural patterns like perch or shad. Make sure those baits are running close to bottom where the active fish are holding[5].

    Perch and bluegill are biting pretty well in shallows near weed beds, using small jigs tipped with waxies or minnows. Largemouth bass are starting to stage in the warmer water up in the bays and around river mouths. Try slow-rolling spinnerbaits, Texas-rigged soft plastics, or classic wacky worms. If you’re after northern pike, bigger swimbaits and flashy spinnerbaits are pulling a few nice ones, especially up north and at river inlets where the water temps are a bit higher[3][5].

    Recent catches have included limits of eater-size walleye and some quality slabs of crappie, plus a few bonus pike. Panfish numbers are up, especially for those working the sheltered bays out of the wind.

    For bait, minnows are a solid all-around choice for walleye and perch, with nightcrawlers working too. Leeches are starting to produce as the water warms up. Artificial lures get the edge this time of year for covering water and finding aggressive fish[5].

    A couple of hot spots to check today: Try the reefs off the west shore near Oshkosh for walleye in the morning, and the bays near the mouth of the Fox River for hungry panfish and bass as the day warms up. Don’t overlook the north end river mouths for a shot at a big pike or bonus crappie[3][5].

    That’s the latest from Lake Winnebago. Good luck out there, keep the rods bent, and stay safe on the water. This is Artificial Lure wishing you tight lines.

  • Walleye, Perch, and Panfish Bite Heats Up on Lake Winnebago
    May 4 2025
    This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Winnebago fishing report for Sunday, May 4th, 2025. If you’re hitting the water today, you’re in luck—the spring bite is heating up and anglers are seeing real action across our big lake.

    Weather this morning is looking moderate, with a few clouds and temps warming up from the mid-40s at sunrise. Expect a high in the low 60s by afternoon, and a light breeze out of the southwest, which makes for pleasant boating and good drift control. Sunrise was at 5:37 a.m. and sunset will be about 8:04 p.m.—plenty of daylight for a full day on the water.

    Though tides aren’t a factor out here, the moon phase this week is favorable for increased fish activity. Water temps are in the low to mid-50s across most of the lake, which is right where we want them for spring walleye, perch, and panfish.

    Walleye have been biting strong, especially along the western shore near the rock reefs. Anglers trolling deep-running crankbaits—think Deep ThunderSticks, Reef Runners, and Shad Raps in blues, purples, chartreuse, or natural patterns—have been doing well. These baits running just above bottom are bringing in walleye in that prime 12 to 23-inch range, with some reports of even bigger fish mixed in. Don’t forget to tip your lures with a crawler or fathead for extra appeal.

    Perch action is steady, mainly around weed edges and out from the river mouths. A simple slip bobber rig with a live minnow or piece of crawler is getting the job done. Bluegill and crappie are moving into the shallows, especially in bays and protected coves, and small jigs tipped with plastics or waxies are putting numbers in the bucket.

    Northern pike and largemouth bass are prowling the shallows now, too. Spinnerbaits, swimbaits, and flashy spoons will draw reaction strikes, especially near emerging weeds and structure.

    Recent catches have been healthy—multiple limits of keeper walleye, plenty of eater-size perch, and steady panfish activity. Folks are reporting a mix of sizes but lots of action.

    For hot spots, check out the reefs off Oshkosh and Lakeside Park Point for walleyes, and don’t sleep on the mouth of the Fox River for mixed bags. The bays east of Fond du Lac have been good for perch and panfish.

    Best bet: Troll the reef edges at dawn and dusk with those deep divers, and target protected shallows with light tackle for panfish mid-day. Bring along crawlers and minnows for bait. Stay safe out there, tight lines, and I’ll see you at the landing.
