あらすじ・解説
As of January 10, 2025, Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin is offering ideal conditions for ice fishing. The weather is cold and perfect, with temperatures in the low teens and a light breeze, making it an excellent time to get out on the ice.
Sunrise today is at 7:34 AM, and sunset will be at 4:27 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to enjoy your fishing trip. The ice cover is solid, with most areas having at least 8-10 inches of ice, which is safe for both foot and vehicle traffic.
Yesterday saw a good amount of fish activity, particularly for Walleye and Panfish. Anglers reported catching several Walleye in the 12- to 23-inch range, along with a healthy number of Yellow Perch, Bluegill, and Crappie. Specifically, around 20 Walleye were caught, with the largest weighing in at about 22 inches, and over 50 Yellow Perch, several Bluegill, and a handful of Crappie were also landed.
For Walleye, the best lures have been jigging spoons like the Kastmaster or Buck-Shot Rattle Jig, tipped with minnows or fatheads. For Panfish, small jigs with waxworms or tiny ice jigs with crickets have been very effective.
If you're looking for hot spots, consider heading to the southwest part of Lake Winnebago, where many anglers have found success near the weed beds and shallow-water reefs. High Cliff State Park is another great spot, especially for those new to ice fishing, with the marina and nearby rocks offering good access to Walleye, Perch, and Crappie. Kelly’s Point and Reef, located about 5 miles north of Fond du Lac, is known for its abundant Walleye population, attracted by the weeds and structure around the reef.
Lake Winnebago does not have tidal conditions, as it is a freshwater lake. So, you can focus solely on the ice and weather conditions to plan your fishing day. Enjoy your time on the ice
