2/14/25 Sturgeon Spearing Report Day 6
14 February 2025 Sports
Even as we get closer to the weekend, harvest continues to be slow. A total of 20 lake sturgeon were harvested on the Winnebago System with 3 juvenile females, 9 adult females and 8 males. Reports indicate that water clarity on the east side of Lake Winnebago, particularly southeast locations, continues to be poor.
The Upriver Lakes continue to steadily harvest fish, though it does look like the season will at least go into the beginning of the weekend. Thursday, a total of 11 lake sturgeon were harvested on the Upriver Lakes (8 males, 3 adult females and 0 juvenile females). Overall, there have been 31 juvenile females, 34 adult females and 160 males harvested from the Upriver Lakes. We continue to be closest to the male cap on the Upriver Lakes, but we are still 65 fish away from hitting the 90% trigger.
View the full details in today’s harvest report.
We still have a lot of large fish coming in with 4 fish over 100 pounds speared today. The largest fish was a 148.3-pound, 79.5-inch, F2 female speared by Luke Harness from Lake Winnebago.
Please note, due to water clarity, the Pipe registration station will still be closed today. For those registering fish in that area, the Quinney registration station is the next closest station. Please make sure to adjust accordingly. Thank you, and congrats to all our spearers.
