  • Fishing Report for Lake Winnebago: Sturgeon Spearing, Walleye, and Pike Action on the Ice

    Fishing Report for Lake Winnebago: Sturgeon Spearing, Walleye, and Pike Action on the Ice
    Feb 15 2025
    Hey there, fellow anglers It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share the latest fishing report for Lake Winnebago and its surrounding waters as of February 15, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the conditions. We're in the midst of the sturgeon spearing season, and the weather has been quite unpredictable. Recent updates indicate that the area is experiencing shifting ice conditions and varying water clarity, which can significantly impact your fishing success. On February 9, for instance, the water clarity shifted dramatically, with clear areas becoming murkier even under sunny conditions[1].

    For sturgeon spearing, the key is finding those clear pockets of water. Lake Winnebago has been the hotspot, with 74 sturgeon harvested on the lake recently, including 30 males, 30 adult females, and 14 juvenile females. The Upriver Lakes, however, have seen lower-than-normal harvests due to access issues, but there are still successes to be noted, such as Kurt Davidson's 110-pound male sturgeon from the Upriver Lakes on February 12[1][4].

    If you're not into sturgeon spearing, there's still plenty of action for other species. Lake Winnebago is renowned for its Walleye, and this time of year is perfect for ice fishing. Focus on the western shore, particularly around areas like Kelly’s Point and Reef, where weeds attract Walleye in droves. Trolling the shorelines and targeting pockets of water about 6 feet deep with hard bottoms and weeds can also yield great results[3].

    For Pike enthusiasts, the western shore of Lake Winnebago and smaller bodies of water in the Winnebago Chain are your best bets. Ice fishing near weed beds in areas like North and South Asylum Bays can be very productive[3].

    As for the best lures and bait, for Walleye, local anglers recommend using HT Big game tip-ups with fluorocarbon leaders and #16 treble hooks. Live bait such as minnows or jigs tipped with worms are also highly effective. For Pike, using larger lures like spoons or tip-ups with sucker minnows can attract those big predators[5].

    Hot spots to consider include the area off the west central portion of Lake Winnebago near Oshkosh, where most of the shanties are concentrated. High Cliff State Park is another excellent spot, offering access to the lake from the marina or nearby rocks. Neenah Bay, with its humps near weeds in 8-10 feet of water, is also a prime location for ice fishing[1][3].

    In terms of weather, be prepared for variable conditions. A winter weather advisory was in place recently, which affected the number of spearers on the ice. Make sure to check the latest ice conditions and weather forecasts before heading out.

    Sunrise today is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:00 PM. There are no tidal reports to consider here, as Lake Winnebago is a freshwater lake.

    In summary, despite the challenging conditions, Lake Winnebago and its surrounding waters continue to offer exciting fishing opportunities. Keep an eye on water clarity, use the right lures and bait, and head to those proven hot spots for a successful day on the ice. Tight lines, everyone

  • Lake Winnebago Fishing Update: Sturgeon Spearing, Walleye, and Panfish Hotspots in February 2025

    Lake Winnebago Fishing Update: Sturgeon Spearing, Walleye, and Panfish Hotspots in February 2025
    Feb 14 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the fishing scene around Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin, as of February 14, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the current conditions. The sturgeon spearing season is in full swing, having started on February 8 and set to run until February 23, or until the harvest caps are reached. As of the latest updates, the water clarity on Lake Winnebago and the Upriver Lakes has been a bit of a challenge, with clear areas turning murky even with sunny conditions[1][2].

    For those interested in sturgeon spearing, the past few days have seen some impressive catches. On February 9, a total of 121 lake sturgeon were speared across the system, with 74 of those coming from Lake Winnebago. This included 30 males, 30 adult females, and 14 juvenile females[1]. More recently, on February 11, 26 sturgeon were harvested from Lake Winnebago, with 2 juvenile females, 13 adult females, and 11 males[2].

    If you're not into spearing but still want to catch some fish, Lake Winnebago has plenty to offer. For panfish, crappie, and walleye, you can't go wrong with the areas around High Cliff State Park, Kelly’s Point and Reef, and the Neenah Dam at the Fox River. These spots are known for their productive fishing, especially for those targeting walleye and panfish[3].

    As for the best lures and bait, given the current conditions, artificial lures might be your best bet. However, traditionalists will still find success with live bait. For walleye, using jigs tipped with minnows or worms can be very effective. If you prefer artificial lures, crankbaits and jigging spoons can work wonders, especially in the clearer pockets of water[3].

    Here are a couple of hot spots to consider:

    - **High Cliff State Park**: This is a great spot for beginners and experienced anglers alike. You can fish from the marina, the nearby rocks, or even wade into the waters. It's a good place to catch perch, crappie, and walleye.
    - **Kelly’s Point and Reef**: Located about 5 miles north of Fond du Lac on the western shoreline of Lake Winnebago, this area is known for its abundant walleye. The weeds around this structure attract walleye, making it a prime spot for those fishing from a boat.

    Weather-wise, February in Wisconsin is typically cold, so make sure to bundle up. Sunrise today is around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be around 5:15 PM. There's no tidal report to worry about since Lake Winnebago is a freshwater lake.

    In summary, while the sturgeon spearing season is the main event right now, there are plenty of other fishing opportunities around Lake Winnebago. Be prepared for variable water clarity, and don't hesitate to switch between live bait and artificial lures to see what works best for you. Stay safe, and good luck out there

  • Sturgeon Spearing and Winter Fishing on Lake Winnebago and Upriver Lakes

    Sturgeon Spearing and Winter Fishing on Lake Winnebago and Upriver Lakes
    Feb 12 2025
    Hey there, fellow anglers It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share the latest fishing report for Lake Winnebago and the Upriver Lakes in Wisconsin as of February 12, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the conditions. The sturgeon spearing season is in full swing, having started on February 8 and set to run until February 23, or until the harvest caps are reached. The weather has been quite variable, with reports of calm winds and sunshine on some days, but also shifts in water clarity due to changing ice conditions.

    For today, February 12, the sunrise was at around 6:45 AM, and the sunset will be at about 5:15 PM. There's no tidal report to consider here since we're dealing with freshwater lakes, but water clarity is a crucial factor. Recently, spearers have noted that areas with clear water one day can become murkier the next, even with sunny conditions.

    Despite these challenges, the sturgeon harvest has been impressive. On Lake Winnebago, the latest reports indicate that 74 sturgeon were harvested on February 9, including 30 males, 30 adult females, and 14 juvenile females. The Upriver Lakes also saw a steady harvest, with 47 sturgeon speared on the same day, comprising 32 males, 4 adult females, and 11 juvenile females[1][5].

    For those targeting sturgeon, finding clear pockets of water is key. The west central portion of Lake Winnebago near Oshkosh has been particularly productive, with many shanties set up in this area. The Downtown Oshkosh and Neenah registration stations have seen the highest number of harvests, and the Southwest Winnebago registration station has recorded the most fish weighing over 100 pounds[1].

    If you're looking for other species, Lake Winnebago is renowned for its walleye, perch, and crappie. For walleye, head to areas like Kelly’s Point and Reef, about 5 miles north of Fond du Lac on the western shoreline. This structure is surrounded by weeds, making it a hotspot for walleye. Trolling the shorelines and focusing on areas with hard bottoms and weeds can also be very effective[3].

    For bait, traditional sturgeon spearers rely on the visibility of the water to spot their prey, but for other species, live bait such as worms and minnows work well. For artificial lures, consider using slow-moving presentations, especially in colder waters. Lures that mimic the natural movement of baitfish or crustaceans can be very effective.

    Hot spots to consider include High Cliff State Park, where you can fish from the marina or the nearby rocks, and the Neenah Dam at the Fox River, which is great for panfish and walleye. Oshkosh is another prime location, offering access to both Lake Winnebago and Lake Butte des Morts[3].

    In summary, Lake Winnebago and the Upriver Lakes are offering some fantastic fishing opportunities right now, despite the variable water conditions. Keep an eye on those clear pockets of water, and don't hesitate to try out some traditional and artificial baits. Good luck out there, and I hope you land some monsters
