Lake Winnebago Fishing Report: Walleyes, Perch, and White Bass on the Bite
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Winnebago fishing report for March 14, 2025. It's a chilly morning out on the big pond, with temps hovering around 34°F at sunrise, which was at 6:12 AM. We're looking at partly cloudy skies today with a high of 48°F and light winds from the southwest. Sunset will be at 7:02 PM, so we've got plenty of daylight to work with.
Now, onto the fishing. The walleye bite has been picking up as we get closer to the spring spawn. Anglers have been having luck jigging with minnows or plastics in 15-20 feet of water along the east shore. The Stockbridge area has been particularly hot. A few nice 'eyes in the 20-25 inch range have been reported.
Perch fishing remains steady, with good numbers being caught in 8-12 feet of water near weed edges. Small jigs tipped with minnows or wigglers have been the ticket. The Pipe area has been producing well.
White bass action is starting to heat up too. Trolling small crankbaits or casting blade baits near river mouths has been effective. The Fox River inlet is always a good bet this time of year.
For you sturgeon enthusiasts, the spearing season just wrapped up, but catch-and-release hook-and-line fishing opens up on April 1st. Get those heavy rods ready!
As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out Lighthouse Point for walleyes or the Brothertown area for a mixed bag of perch and walleyes. If you're after white bass, the mouth of the Wolf River is hard to beat.
Lure-wise, can't go wrong with a jig and minnow combo for walleyes. For perch, try small tungsten jigs tipped with spikes or waxies. And for white bass, a 1/4 oz white or chartreuse blade bait is tough to beat.
Remember, no matter what you're targeting, a slow presentation is key in these colder water temps. Fish are still a bit sluggish, so give 'em time to commit.
That's all for now, folks. Get out there and wet a line! This is Artificial Lure, signing off.
