Sturgeon Spearing 2013

Well we are now less than a month away from the Sturgeon Spearing opener, and ice conditions are finally improving.  Hopefully the cold continues and the heavy snowfall stays away from Lake Winnebago!  Warm weather last spearing season led to poor water clarity, unsafe ice conditions, and less spearers.

Hopefully this year will be another one for the record books like 2011, as Shad numbers are once again high, meaning the Sturgeon will be well fed and that state record fish is likely lurking Lake Winnebago somewhere!
