Today was the 12th day of the 2020 lake sturgeon spear fishery on the Winnebago System, meaning that the season is now 3/4 of the way over. There were 29 fish harvested today with 23 coming from Lake Winnebago and 6 from the Upriver Lakes. The registration station at Jim and Linda’s once again paced the way today with 8 fish registered, followed by Stockbridge Harbor with 6, Payne’s Point with 5, and Wendt’s with 4. Of the 6 fish registered on the Upriver Lakes today, 5 were registered at Critter’s. A detailed breakdown of today’s harvest is available through the following link:
