Artificial Lure here with your Lake Winnebago fishing report for Sunday, October 19, 2025. If you’re heading out today, you’ll want to keep your eye on the weather and make the most of the active bite before this fall wind really picks up.Let’s start with the weather: This morning, winds are howling out of the west and southwest, ranging from 15 up to 27 knots, with gusts making it feel brisk and choppy on open water. Temps this morning are in the upper 40s to low 50s, but expect a steady drop through the day as rain and drizzle roll in by afternoon. By late today, it cools into the low 40s, and showers linger through evening. If you’re staying out late, plan ahead—proper rain gear is a must. According to Bayshore Marina’s forecast, expect gusty conditions and an overall gray, unsettled day.Sunrise was 7:13 AM, and sunset is coming early at 6:06 PM, so you’ve got a limited window for the best light bite.Now, onto the hot action: Recent catch reports and podcasts, like the Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin Daily Fishing Report, say the fall run is in full swing. Walleye are starting to push shallow, especially with this cooling trend. White bass are busting shad on windblown shorelines. Yellow perch numbers have been solid in the off-main-lake reefs and deeper holes.Anglers trolling in 8–15 feet off the weed edges or running slip bobbers near the mouths of the Fox and Wolf Rivers report solid walleye limits. The bite is consistently best early—right around dawn—and again later in the afternoon before sunset, which lines up perfectly with today’s fishing window.Best lures lately: Jointed shad raps, size 5 or 7, in firetiger or clown, have produced on the troll. For casting, stickbaits in natural perch or chrome blue are getting reaction strikes. Vertical jigging with 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads tipped with fathead minnows or plastics in chartreuse and orange is another proven fall favorite, especially for that bump-and-drop feel.Perch anglers have pulled nice batches using small crappie minnows or even leaf worms on drop-shot rigs, especially around gravel bars near Garlic Island and west of Oshkosh. For white bass, toss small Mepps spinners or twister tails—anything flashy, especially on those wind-pounded points.A couple of hot spots to try:- **Blackwolf Flats**—the wind always corrals bait in here, and perch along with eater-sized walleyes have been stacked.- **Stockbridge Harbor**—with a good wind pushing in, white bass schools are pushing up shallow to chase shad.And don’t overlook reefs mid-lake north of Fond du Lac. With steady west winds, predators are herding bait onto these structures, making for classic run-and-gun casting action.No tides, of course, but remember that falling barometer and strong winds can trigger a major feed, especially as weather shifts. With the lake cooling down and bait balls stacking up, expect a steady walleye and white bass bite if you can stay on the move and adjust to the wind and wave action.Thanks for tuning in to today’s report—don’t forget to subscribe for the latest updates, tips, and techniques from right here on Lake Winnebago.
