あらすじ・解説
For December 13, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Winnebago is quite unique, given the winter conditions.
### Weather and Tidal Report
Today, the weather is expected to be chilly, with temperatures ranging from the mid-20s to low 30s Fahrenheit. Since Lake Winnebago is a freshwater lake, there are no tides to consider, but the nautical twilight times are crucial for fishing. Nautical twilight begins at 06:19 and ends at 17:58, with sunrise at 07:20 and sunset at 16:57.
### Fish Activity
This time of year, Lake Winnebago is prime for ice fishing, especially for Walleye and Northern Pike. The fish are more active during the twilight hours, so plan your trips accordingly. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a decent number of Walleye, particularly around the western shore and near the artificial reefs.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Walleye remain the top target, with many anglers catching them using jig and minnow combinations or slip bobbers with leeches or night crawlers. Northern Pike are also active, especially in the shallower bays like North and South Asylum Bays, and Millers Bay. White Bass, although less active this time of year, can still be found in the rivers feeding into the lake.
### Best Lures and Bait
For Walleye, use jig and minnow combinations or slip bobbers with leeches or night crawlers. Northern Pike can be caught using larger jigs or spoons, and even fly presentations. For White Bass, spinners with minnows or small crankbaits can be effective.
### Hot Spots
- **Kelly’s Point and Reef**: Located about 5 miles north of Fond du Lac, this area is known for its abundant Walleye population, especially around the weeds and rock structures.
- **High Cliff State Park**: This park offers excellent access for both shore and boat fishing, with popular targets including Perch, Crappie, and Walleye.
- **Neenah Dam at Fox River**: This spot is great for catching Panfish and Walleye on foot, where the Fox River meets Lake Winnebago.
Remember to stay safe on the ice and follow local fishing regulations. Good luck, and tight lines
