22 NOV 2024 · As of November 22, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing scene at Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin.
First off, the sturgeon spearing season has already concluded, so we're focusing on other species now. The weather today is relatively calm, with clear skies and mild temperatures, ranging from the mid-50s to low 60s, according to the National Weather Service forecast.
For Lake Winnebago, there isn't a tidal report since it's a freshwater lake, but water levels and temperatures are crucial. Currently, the water temperature is around the mid-40s to low 50s, which is typical for this time of year.
Sunrise today is at about 6:45 AM, and sunset will be around 4:20 PM, giving you a good window for fishing.
Fish activity has been decent, especially for walleyes. Yesterday, anglers reported catching walleyes using various tactics. Trolling classic crawler harnesses on calmer days and crankbaits like Flicker Shads, Shad Raps, and Northland Rumble Shads on windy days have been effective. The best colors for both spinners and crankbaits are pink, perch, and white.
For casting, pitching jigs, especially with a 2-inch tube style ned trailer in chartreuse and purple, has been super effective in the weeds. On windy days, fish the wind-blown structure up close to shore and the shallows, targeting rock piles and rubble.
In terms of specific catches, while the sturgeon spearing season is over, recent reports indicate that walleyes are the main target. Anglers have been catching a mix of sizes, with the best locations being the reefs and mud flats, as well as deeper mid-lake flats on calmer days.
Hot spots include the southern portion of Lake Winnebago, particularly around the Southwest Winnebago registration station area, which has seen consistent activity. The Pipe registration stations and the areas around the weed edges and rock piles are also worth checking out.
For bait, nightcrawlers, minnows under a bobber, and jigs with plastics are good choices. Crankbaits that dive into the 8-10 foot depth range are also effective.
Overall, it's a good time to be out on Lake Winnebago, especially if you're targeting walleyes. Just be sure to check the current weather and water conditions to adjust your tactics accordingly.

21 NOV 2024 · As of November 21, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing scene at Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin.
First off, let's talk about the time of day. Sunrise is around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be about 4:20 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the water. Since Lake Winnebago is a freshwater lake, there are no tidal reports to consider.
The weather has been quite unpredictable lately, especially with the sturgeon spearing season wrapping up. Yesterday saw cooler temperatures, which was a welcome change for spearers, but the overall harvest has been slow due to uncooperative weather conditions.
Fish activity has been variable, but there are still some good catches to be had. Yesterday, on Lake Winnebago, only 6 lake sturgeon were harvested, consisting of 2 juvenile females, 2 adult females, and 2 males. The majority of these were registered at the Southwest Winnebago and Pipe registration stations, indicating that the southern portion of the lake is still the best area to focus on.
For other species like walleye and perch, which are more active during this time, you might want to use jigs tipped with minnows or small jigs with plastic tails. Crayfish and small crankbaits can also be effective, especially in the crisp fall conditions.
If you're targeting sturgeon, the best approach is still spearing, but for other species, here are some hot spots: The southern part of Lake Winnebago, particularly around the Southwest Winnebago and Pipe areas, has been seeing consistent activity. For walleye and perch, try the deeper holes and weed edges, especially around the Fond du Lac and Oshkosh areas.
In summary, while the sturgeon spearing season is ending, there's still plenty of fishing to be done on Lake Winnebago. Keep an eye on the weather, and don't hesitate to try different lures and baits to see what works best for you. Good luck out there

Fish activity has been steady, particularly in the evening hours. Walleyes are actively biting, especially on the east shoreline. Smallmouth bass are also thriving, feeding heavily on crayfish around the rock piles.
### Recent Catches
Yesterday saw a decent catch of walleyes, perch, and smallmouth bass. Walleyes were caught using small crankbaits like Flicker Shad #5's and Salmo Hornets in metallic clown, purple, and pink colors. The slip bobber/leech combination, especially with a small jig in green or orange tipped with a leech, has been effective in the evening hours[2][4].
### Best Lures and Bait
For walleyes, trolling with classic crawler harnesses or crankbaits like Shad Raps and Northland Rumble Shads in pink, perch, and white colors is recommended. Casting jerk baits, such as purple and white shallow-running jerk baits, and using a 2-inch tube style Ned trailer in chartreuse and purple, have also been effective[4].
For smallmouth bass, targeting rock piles and using baits like willow bladed swim baits with a gold blade or a jig worm head with a paddle tail can yield good results[4].
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots is the east shoreline, where walleyes are biting well. Another area is the rock piles, where smallmouth bass are actively feeding on crayfish. The mid-lake flats and mud flats are also good locations, especially on calmer days[2][4].
### Additional Tips
If you're ice fishing, areas like Black Wolf with 7-9 inches of ice have been producing good-sized perch and crappies. Using Clam Bomb Jigs, slender spoons, and tungsten jigs in dull orange or gold plated colors can be effective. Remember to pound the mud with your jigs and spoons to attract the fish[2].
Overall, Lake Winnebago is offering some great fishing opportunities this time of year, so make sure to bundle up and enjoy the day on the water.
