  • LAKE WINNEBAGO FISHING REPORT - April 30, 2025

    Howdy, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your fresh-off-the-boat report for Lake Winnebago today.

    The spring fishing action is heating up nicely across Lake Winnebago! Reports from this past week show anglers hauling in good numbers of perch and walleyes ranging from 12 to 23 inches[1]. Those jumbo perch are definitely making an appearance too!

    Today's weather is setting up for a decent day on the water, with moderate temperatures for late April. Sunrise was around 5:50 AM with sunset expected around 8:00 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get your lines wet.

    The largemouth bass action has been particularly strong lately, with several anglers reporting success using swim jigs near riprap banks. White pearl Zoom Z Craw Jr. (3 1/2") has been a hot bait for this technique[3]. Bass have been actively chasing minnows along these structures, so matching your presentation to mimic those baitfish movements is key.

    For those targeting walleye, vertical presentations with Lindy Rigs or 1/4 ounce Live Bait Jigs have been producing well. Tip these with night crawlers, leeches, or large minnows for best results. Water clarity has changed with the warming temperatures, actually making traditional methods more effective than they've been in previous weeks[5].

    Hot spots to try today include the riprap areas along the eastern shoreline, particularly during the early morning hours. Mid-lake structures like bars, humps, and hard-bottom flats are holding scattered packs of walleyes[5]. For shore anglers, casting parallel to the riprap banks has been a productive approach, especially when using buzzbaits with a Pitt Boss skirt replacement[3].

    The Lake-Link fishing forecast indicates favorable fishing conditions for today, with the prime bite windows likely coming during the early morning and again in the evening hours[2].

    Based on the latest reports, I'd suggest stocking your tackle box with swim jigs, buzzbaits, Live Bait Jigs, and Lindy Rigs to be prepared for whatever's biting. Don't forget a good supply of night crawlers and minnows – the fish are definitely hungry!

    The fishing pressure has been moderate, with plenty of space to find your own honey hole. The most recent reports show activity across the lake, with particular success coming from the Fond du Lac and Oshkosh areas.

    So grab your gear, get on out there, and tight lines to ya! This is Artificial Lure signing off until tomorrow's report.
