Daily Highlights
Only one more day remains in the 2020 lake sturgeon spear fishery on the Winnebago System. There were 68 fish harvested today with 48 coming from Lake Winnebago and 20 from the Upriver Lakes. The 48 fish registered on Lake Winnebago today is the largest daily harvest of the season. I’ve been hearing from spearers all season that the water has been clearing, and today’s harvest confirms that. Through 15 days, our season total is 431 fish on Lake Winnebago and 311 fish on the Upriver Lakes. A more detailed break down of the season harvest is presented in the attached document:

Randall registered his 107.2 pound, 73.3 inch lake sturgeon at Payne’s Point. The largest fish of the day on the Upriver Lakes was 69.9 pounds, 65.1 inches and registered at Critter’s by Dennis Waters.
Tomorrow will be the last day of the 2020 sturgeon spear fishery. Congratulations to all the spearers that have harvested sturgeon this season and good luck to everyone who will be out on the hunt tomorrow! |
