  • Summary

  • As of October 31, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin is quite active despite the chilly weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Water Conditions
    Today, expect south winds to pick up from 10 to 20 knots, becoming southwest at 20 to 30 knots in the afternoon. There's a likelihood of rain showers in the morning, so be prepared with the right gear. Water temperatures are cooling down, but this hasn't deterred the fish from biting.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:30 PM, giving you a good window to catch both morning and evening bites.

    ### Fish Activity
    Walleyes are still active in the area, particularly in the Wolf River and transitioning back into the lake. The bite has been consistent throughout the day. Anglers have reported catching walleyes, as well as drum and perch, in various spots.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For walleyes, dragging nightcrawlers with Northland Fishing Tackle Thumper Jigs or a Carolina rig has been highly effective. Colors like orange, gold, and green are working well. Hair jigs in purple, black, orange, and chartreuse are also catching fish. For those targeting white bass, jigs paired with plastics and crankbaits are good options, but pulling flies, especially in purple, has been the most successful method.

    ### Hot Spots
    Focus on the Wolf River from Fremont down into Lake Winnebago. The river's bottom areas are holding a lot of walleyes. Additionally, the mid-lake areas and the transition zones from rock to mud are good spots to explore.

    ### Tidal Report
    Lake Winnebago is a freshwater lake, so there are no tides to consider. However, the wind can significantly impact water conditions, making it important to check the latest wind forecasts before heading out.

    Overall, Lake Winnebago is offering some great fishing opportunities right now. Make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for the changing weather conditions. With the right lures and bait, you should be able to catch a good number of fish. Happy fishing
