Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Winnebago fishing report for March 29, 2025. Let me tell ya, spring is in full swing and the fishing is starting to heat up!
First off, we don't have tides to worry about here on Winnebago, but water levels are looking good after all that spring melt. Sunrise was at 6:42 AM and sunset will be at 7:21 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet a line.
Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with highs around 55°F and light winds from the southeast. Perfect conditions to get out on the water!
Now, onto the good stuff - the fish! Walleye action has been picking up nicely as those fish start moving into shallower water. Anglers have been having success trolling crankbaits like Reef Runners and Flicker Shads in 8-12 feet of water. Pearl white and firetiger patterns seem to be the hot colors right now.
Yellow perch are still biting well, with some nice catches coming from around Garlic Island and off Stockbridge Harbor. Small minnows or white plastics on a jig head have been producing.
White bass numbers are starting to increase too as they begin their spring migration. Look for them in the Fox River and try casting small jigs or spinners.
For you catfish enthusiasts, channel cats are starting to become more active. Try fishing cut bait or nightcrawlers near creek mouths or rocky shorelines.
If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the reefs near Pipe or trolling the east shore between Brothertown and Stockbridge. The mouth of the Fox River has also been producing some nice mixed bags.
Bait-wise, fathead minnows are always a good choice this time of year. But don't overlook nightcrawlers or leeches as the water warms up.
For artificial lures, jigs tipped with plastics are hard to beat. Try some 3-inch paddletails in white or chartreuse. And of course, don't forget those crankbaits for trolling!
Well, that about wraps it up for today's report. Remember to check your local regulations and get your new license if you haven't already. Now get out there and wet a line! This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines, everyone!
