Lake Winnebago Fishing Update: Walleyes Dominating, Perch Bite Tougher
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
# Lake Winnebago Fishing Report
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning Lake Winnebago report.
We're in the thick of mid-winter fishing, and Bago is continuing to build solid ice as we move through January. The latest ice report came in yesterday, so conditions are looking favorable for getting out safely this week.
Let's talk what's biting. Walleyes are absolutely dominating right now—and I mean dominating. If you're targeting these guys, you want to focus on the reef edges in 8 to 12 feet of water along the west side. Anglers have been crushing limits in under an hour using number 5 and 7 Flicker shads trolled slow at 1.8 to 2.0 mph, about 50 feet behind the boards. The crawler harness bite is still solid too, especially if you're working the mud in 16 to 20 feet, though honestly, why fight it when the shallow reef edges are on fire?
Now, the perch bite this year—that's been tougher. Guys are getting a few, but not the numbers we'd like to see. The good news? Some anglers are having better luck concentrating on the bay area. You'll find perch on those reef edges in about 10 feet of water.
Peak fishing times today look to be around 12 to 2 AM and 6 to 8 PM, so plan your trips accordingly.
For hotspots, hit the west side reef edges first—that's where the walleye action has been consistent. Brothertown Harbor on the east side is another solid launch point, though it's been packed lately.
