2/21/25 Sturgeon Spearing Season Day 13
21 February 2025 Sports
From the DNR
We are only 3 days away from the end of the Winnebago spearing season, and there are some spearers who have not given up. Twenty-seven lake sturgeon were harvested throughout the system Thursday (4 juvenile females, 12 adult females and 11 males).
The biggest was a 109.7-pound, 75.5-inch, F1 female speared by Patrick Nolan.
We still did not hit the 90% harvest trigger on the Upriver Lakes. With 1 juvenile female, 1 adult female and 3 males being harvested, we continue to sit just a few fish below the 90% trigger for the male harvest cap. But, for now, the Upriver season continues to stay open.
View the full details in today’s harvest report.
The Pipe, North Winnebago and Winneconne registration station will remain closed today.
Pictured: Big smiles at the southwest Winnebago registration station as Darren Pautsch’s fish just squeaks in over 100 pounds and is the biggest fish for the day (a 101-pound, 74.9-inch, F1 female).
