Sturgeon Spearing Report Day 9
17 February 2020 Sports
DNR Senior Sturgeon Biologist Ryan Koenigs Writes:
The 2nd weekend of the 2020 sturgeon spearing season has now concluded. The 41 fish harvested from Lake Winnebago today was the 2nd highest daily harvest for the season, besting yesterday’s total by one fish. Our registration station at Jim and Linda’s paced the way again today with 17 fish registered followed by Wendt’s with 7 fish and Stockbridge Harbor and Quinney each with 5 fish. There were 25 fish harvested from the Upriver Lakes today with 13 fish registered at Indian Point and 12 at Critter’s. A detailed breakdown of today’s registration numbers by station is available through the following link:
The largest fish registered on the system today was 98.4 pounds, 70.2 inches and registered at Payne’s Point by Hunter Seelow (pictured). Zach Southard had the largest fish on the Upriver Lakes today when he registered his 87.1 pound, 67.5 inch lake sturgeon at Critter’s.
We will be closing several of our registration stations during the upcoming week due to the anticipated drop in harvest. Our registration stations at Waverly Beach, Quinney, Jerry’s Bar, and Boom Bay will all be closed for the remainder of the season. Successful spearers on Lake Winnebago can register their fish at Stockbridge Harbor, Jim and Linda’s in Pipe, Wendt’s, or Payne’s Point. Successful spearers on the Upriver Lakes can register their fish at either Critter’s or Indian Point.
Good luck during the remainder of the season!
