あらすじ・解説
For December 8th, 2024, on Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin, the fishing scene is quite vibrant despite the cold winter conditions.
First, let's address the environment: Since Lake Winnebago is a freshwater lake, tidal reports are not applicable. However, the weather is a crucial factor. Today, expect bitter cold temperatures, which is typical for this time of year. Sunrise is at around 7:15 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:15 PM.
Fish activity is robust, especially for ice fishing, which is the primary method this time of year. Yesterday saw a good number of catches, particularly for Yellow Perch, Walleye, and Northern Pike. The Perch bite has been excellent, with many anglers reporting catches of large and numerous Perch, especially around the southern part of the lake and near the shoreline after "freeze up"[2].
For Walleye, trolling with small crankbaits like Flicker Shad #5's and Salmo Hornets in metallic clown, purple, and pink colors have been effective. The slip bobber/leech combination, especially with a small jig in green or orange tipped with a leech, has also been working well in the evening hours[5].
Northern Pike are active during the winter months, and careful location selection around the western shore and smaller bodies of water within the Winnebago Chain can yield impressive catches[2].
For bait, live bait such as leeches and minnows are highly recommended. For lures, Clam Bomb Jigs, slender spoons, and tungsten jigs in dull orange or gold plated colors have been successful[5].
Hot spots include High Cliff State Park, where you can fish from the marina or nearby rocks, and Kelly’s Point and Reef, which is about 5 miles north of Fond du Lac on the western shoreline. This area is known for its weeds that attract Walleye in large numbers[2].
In summary, Lake Winnebago is offering some fantastic ice fishing opportunities right now. Bundle up, choose the right bait and lures, and head to the hot spots for a productive day on the ice.
