As of November 29, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing conditions at Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin.
First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures ranging from the mid-30s to the mid-50s, depending on your location around the lake. Winds are moderate, coming in from the southwest at about 6-9 mph[4].
Sunrise was at around 6:55 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:20 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.
Lake Winnebago does not have tidal reports since it is an inland lake, but water temperatures are crucial. Currently, the water temperatures are in the mid-to-low 40s, which is typical for this time of year[4].
Fish activity has been good, especially for walleyes, perch, and smallmouth bass. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a decent number of walleyes, particularly in the deeper waters near the lake's drop-offs. Perch were active in the shallower areas, and smallmouth bass were found near structure like rocks and weed beds[1][5].
For walleyes, using jigs with minnows or fatheads has been effective. For perch, small jigs tipped with waxworms or crickets are working well. Smallmouth bass are hitting on beetle spins and crankbaits[1][3].
Some hot spots to consider include the areas around the Wolf River inlet and the deeper waters off of High Cliff State Park. The weed beds near Fond du Lac and Oshkosh have also been producing some nice catches[1][3].
Remember to bundle up, as the crisp fall conditions can get chilly, especially in the mornings and evenings. Good luck out there
