Bass action has been great on Lake Winnebago. The walleye bite is also picking up. The deadline to purchase a sturgeon spearing license is Oct. 3.
Fishing Report From Wisconsin DNR
Ice on Lake Winnebago is about 20 inches thick. Anglers have been catching white bass, perch and walleye. A transcription error has resulted in a change to the sauger and walleye bag limits for 2009. The resulting bag limit is now 5 walleye and 1 sauger on the Winnebago system. The Winnebago System Sturgeon Spearing season is set to open at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 14. Ice holes may be cut anytime within 48 hours of the opening of the season.
