Lake Winnebago Fishing Report: Storm Warning and Ideal Cold-Water Presentations

# Lake Winnebago Fishing Report - November 29, 2025

Artificial Lure here, your local Lake Winnebago fishing guide. If you're thinking about hitting the water today, listen up—we've got some serious weather moving in that's gonna change everything.

First, the bad news: A winter storm warning is in effect from 9 a.m. this morning through 6 a.m. tomorrow for Winnebago County. We're looking at six to nine inches of snow expected, with the heaviest snow falling late this afternoon and into tonight. The National Weather Service is calling this a long duration snow event, so if you're planning to fish, you need to get out early and get off the water by early afternoon. Conditions are gonna deteriorate fast.

Now, for those of you who managed to get out recently, walleye and perch fishing has been solid in late November conditions. The recent fishing reports show that targeting these species in the shallower areas has been producing bites. Water temps are dropping fast, which means the fish are transitioning to their winter patterns. Walleye are moving shallower, and perch are schooling up tightly—both good news for anglers who know where to find them.

If you're going today before that snow hits, stick with traditional cold-water presentations. Weightless Senkos and other stickbaits work great for walleye right now. Small jigs tipped with live minnows or shiners are gonna be your bread and butter for perch. The key is keeping your bait moving slowly along the bottom structure.

Head toward the western and northern shorelines where you'll find harder bottom and better water clarity. Avoid the east side of the lake—it gets muddy when the wind picks up, which is happening today. The west side is gonna be your best bet before conditions get ugly.

Stay safe out there, folks. This is serious weather coming in. Thank you for tuning in and make sure to subscribe. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
