Sturgeon Season Sizzles: 235 Catches and Counting on Lake Winnebago
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things fishin' on Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin. It's early March 9th, 2026, and we're smack in sturgeon season—man, it opened strong! Stockbridge crews hauled in 87 giants Sunday alone, pushin' their total to 235, with upriver spots addin' 75 more, includin' 19 adults. That's some serious action on the big lake system.
Weather's lookin' prime today: lows around 40°F, highs pushin' 69°F per solunar forecasts. Sunrise at 6:20 AM, sunset 'round 6:10 PM. No tides here on fresh water, but peak fishin' times hit major from 12:02 PM to 2:02 PM, minors at 5:48-6:48 AM and 7:28-8:28 PM—get out there!
Ice is still solid in spots from RnR Outdoors' 2025/2026 reports, with white bass hammerin' jigs on Winnebago. Limits of perch, walleye, and those monster sturgeon tags fillin' fast. Recent catches: tons of white bass, perch schools thick, walleyes bitin' minnows under tip-ups, and sturgeon stackin' up.
Best lures? Tip with **glow jigs** or **spoons** for perch and bass—RnR swears by 'em. Sturgeon love **cut bait** like suckers or shad chunks on big circle hooks. Live minnows rule for walleye.
Hot spots: Stockbridge reef for sturgeon mobs, and upriver near Oshkosh for white bass frenzy. Bundle up, drill safe, and check ice reports.
