2/11/2013 2:05:00 PMOpening day a family fest of friendship - with big catches! The only thing more powerful than the 179-pound, 80-inch sturgeon wrestled out of Lake Winnebago by Sherwood’s Pete Vanderwielen on opening day of the 2013 Sturgeon Spearing Season was the undeniable bond among the families and their friends who filled the thousands of heated ice sh...

2/11/2013 1:00:00 PMSturgeon spearing traditions were renewed over the last few days, as the 2013 Sturgeon Spear Fishery on the Winnebago System got underway. Opening day was one of mixed results, and for the most part went as predicted. Due to less than ideal ice conditions on Lake Winnebago and poor water clarity, the total harvest from Lake Winnebago wa...

2/11/2013 12:50:00 PMPhotos by Diane Schauer “Ice shove on Winnebago the night of Jan. 19th. The 50+ mile an hour winds blew the ice from the west to the east shores of Lake Winnebago, creating 50-100 yards of open water along the west shore off Oshkosh. Until then, it looked like a good year for ice for sturgeon spearing. This on...

2/11/2013 11:55:00 AMBy John Luthens We walked from the boat landing on Black Wolf Point and into a thick fog that rolled across the Lake Winnebago ice. Trucks swung around through the shoreline snow and passed as we pulled our sleds. Lights sprung from lighted shack doorways across the darkened ice and flags were raised from shanty rooftops. Across the pl...

2/7/2013 4:40:00 PMBy Professional Guide Dennis Walker BIG GREEN LAKE UPDATE; The Big snow storm has come and is now gone. We got 8 to 10 inches of snow on top of 5 to 6 inches of ice. It was all wet enough to soak up most of the snow. So now with the real cold weather we are now having everything is freezing up. We now have very good ice conditions. This weekend wi...

2/7/2013 10:05:00 AMBy Wayne Morgenthaler Fishing was good again on the backwaters but you’re still looking for more fish very late in the day. The best bite is still the last hour before darkness. The snow on top has not changed the pattern when the fish are hungry. Sunfish have been around 6 to 8 inches and the crappies around 10 inches. Th...

2/6/2013 12:25:00 PMWith plenty of ice on our local waters many anglers are getting out and searching out new territory as the season progresses. The walleye bite has been good especially after dark. We are seeing our best action on golden shiners run about a foot off the bottom in 3 to 6 feet of water. Northern pike have been really active this winter and this past...

Haas/Bureau of Law Enforcement Warden: Tips from public important, can stay anonymous The Trempealeau County over-bagger took to the water early and alone.

We decided t...

2/5/2013 2:20:00 PMThese reports are so much easier to write when fishing is good! Real cold and high pressure kept the bite down again. Anglers experience much of the same as they did the week before – fish very negative and not in the mood to bite. We had been spoiled with all of the thin ice and good fishing. Actually this isn’t...

2/5/2013 2:10:00 PMThe Sno-gypsies snowmobile club held their annual fisheree this past Saturday on Butternut Lake. Cold air temperatures and a high pressure system greeted anglers fishing the early morning hours. The temperatures warmed throughout the day but the fishing success didn't. I talked with anglers, many who brought their families out for a day on the ice...

2/5/2013 10:05:00 AMBy John Luthens February mornings in Wisconsin are dawning earlier. The glow in the eastern sky is getting steadily stronger as the sun shifts from its winter hibernation. And the groundhogs come out of their holes on the second day of the month to take a chance on the weather, possibly to welcome an early spring- or possibly to go bac...

2/4/2013 4:15:00 PMThe panfish were a little harder to get to bite the last few but they still can be caught. Gills have moved off the cribs and we are getting them on the mud bottom areas of the lake in 18 to 25 feet of water. The Crappie are in the same areas, I have been using spikes or waxies on small heavy jigs for the Gills and Ratsos for the Crappie. Walleye ...

And what does that story tell? Well, flags flew, and so did the snow, venison steaks sizzled on the grill, fish were caught, and the proverbial bull...
