Artificial Lure here with your Lake Winnebago fishing report for Friday, November 7th, 2025. The fall bite’s still rolling, and local anglers are finding action on a brisk, classic eastern Wisconsin November morning. Here’s what’s happening on the water today:

Weatherwise, we kicked off with crisp temps in the low 40s and light southwest winds, expected to rise to around 10 mph by late afternoon according to the National Weather Service in Green Bay. Scattered rain showers may drift in by evening, but most of the day looks favorable for anglers to get out and wet some lines. Sunrise hit at 6:41 AM, sunset will come early at 4:39 PM – so plan to maximize those daylight hours[11].

Solunar tables are promising: we’re just off a full moon (good news for aggressive fish), and FishingReminder says today’s major activity windows on Lake Winnebago are midmorning and early evening – right around 9:15 AM and again near 5:20 PM. Predators like walleye and pike should be especially active during these periods[2][4].

Let’s talk fish. Local chatter and the latest Outdoor News report have yellow perch action picking up as waters cool, with decent numbers around the weed edges and deeper mudflats. Look for schools moving shallower during those prime feeding windows. Walleye are feeding aggressively as we close in on winter – focus your efforts near river mouths and dropoffs, where they’re chasing shad and small perch. Don’t rule out muskie either: recent reports mention success trolling hard plastics near river mouths and pitching crankbaits up by Oshkosh and the Fox River[1].

Bass aren’t done either. Smallmouths are bulking up; finesse jigs and Ned rigs work well, especially off rocky points and breaklines – just fish ‘em slow and steady. Crappie and bluegill are still hanging close to structure but are sliding deeper as the water temps drop.

Now, for the hot spots. Millers Bay near Oshkosh is producing solid perch and some bonus walleyes, especially along deeper edges and inside turns. The mouth of the Fox River is a perennial fall walleye magnet, and South Asylum Bay has been a sneaky good choice for a mixed bag, especially if you want to cash in on a late smallmouth bite[4].

As for gear, trolling crankbaits or bladebaits remains the ticket for walleyes and muskies. For perch and bluegill, you can’t go wrong with small minnows or red worms under slip bobbers. Jigging Raps in perch pattern, hair jigs, and the trusty chartreuse or firetiger plastics are killer right now—don’t be afraid to work those baits a bit aggressive: fish want a meal before the real cold sets in. Bass anglers should keep finesse plastics handy, and if you’re trophy hunting, throw a big sucker minnow under a float and hang on.

In sum: November is a transition month – big fish are on the prowl, and those willing to brave a little chill are walking away with brag-worthy catches. Remember to check for any new harvest or slot limits, and with the sun setting so early, mind your navigation and lights if you’re still out at dusk.
