Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Winnebago fishing report for today. I can't give you a full tidal report since we're on a freshwater lake, but I can tell you conditions are looking pretty solid out there.
Yesterday was the opening day of sturgeon spearing season, and let me tell you, it was a banner day on the ice. The Wisconsin DNR reported 654 sturgeon speared across the entire Winnebago system. On Lake Winnebago alone, spearers landed 479 fish—53 juvenile females, 239 adult females, and 187 males. Over on the Upriver Lakes, another 175 came through. The biggest catch of the day was a massive 148.9-pound female, but a father-son team also landed a solid 108-pounder that made headlines.
Now, while the spearing's been hot, if you're out there with conventional gear, know that the system's holding plenty of fish. The weather yesterday was sunny with good ice conditions and excellent water clarity, which should carry over into today. We're looking at mild temperatures forecast for today as well—perfect for getting out on the ice or hitting the water if conditions allow.
For your setup, minnows and Neko Rigs have been top producers on the Wolf River Chain system. A crankbait will also play, especially if you're targeting smallmouth or largemouth bass. When fishing Lake Winnebago itself, target offshore structure with smallies—you might need to hit 20 different spots to fill your limit, but the fish are there.
Hot spots worth checking: The east side of Lake Winnebago, particularly around the Stockbridge area where 148 fish registered yesterday. The Upriver Lakes are also firing, though be aware that area's approaching harvest caps if you're spearing. If you're bass fishing, work the channel complexes and deeper structure on Winnebago—it's your best freshwater option on this chain.
Remember spearing runs 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. through March 1st, unless harvest caps get hit.
