Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 15:21 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Fond du Lac

Fond du Lac fishing centers on the south shore of Lake Winnebago, giving anglers direct access to one of Wisconsin’s most productive and diverse fisheries. This sprawling natural lake, along with connected rivers and nearby small waters, supports consistent action for walleye, white bass, panfish, catfish and even giant lake sturgeon. Launch access, shoreline spots and seasonal fish movements all converge around Fond du Lac, making it a practical home base for anglers.

Spring on Lake Winnebago near Fond du Lac is walleye and white bass time. As ice pulls off, target pre-spawn walleyes along the south-end reefs, rocky points and shoreline breaks. Jig-and-minnow combinations, hair jigs and slowly worked plastics shine in the cold water. As temperatures climb, pull crankbaits or slow-death rigs across 6–12 feet of water, especially along subtle contour changes. White bass run in huge schools; cast small inline spinners, spoons or 2-inch soft plastics when you mark bait and arcs on electronics, or when terns are diving.

Early summer brings a strong multi-species bite close to Fond du Lac. Weedbeds and emerging cabbage near the south shore hold largemouth bass, northern pike, panfish and the occasional muskie. Work the outside weed edge with spinnerbaits, swim jigs and chatterbaits for bass and pike; switch to slip bobbers with leeches or nightcrawlers to pick off bluegills, perch and crappies. On calm days, drifting with live bait rigs and crawlers over main-lake points is a reliable pattern for eating-size walleyes. Look for pods of fish relating to transitions where rock meets mud.

Mid to late summer, structure and low-light windows are key. Walleyes slide deeper or go on the prowl at dawn, dusk and after dark. Troll crankbaits on long lines or leadcore over 15–25 feet, using GPS to follow key contours off the south shore. Smallmouth bass stack on rock piles and reefs; tubes, Ned rigs and dropshot rigs are dependable when fished slowly along the bottom. Catfish and freshwater drum roam soft-bottom flats—anchor up-current of subtle depressions and fish cut bait or stinkbait on slip-sinker rigs.

Fall concentrates fish and offers some of the year’s best trophy potential. Cooling water pushes walleyes and smallmouths back shallower. Focus on windswept points, reefs and rock bars with jig-and-minnow or jig-and-plastic presentations. Big northern pike and muskie roam the last remaining green weeds and breaklines; large bucktails, jerkbaits and soft plastics become prime tools. Perch and bluegills stack on weed edges and rock-to-mud transitions, where small jigs tipped with plastics or live bait excel.

Winter ice fishing on Lake Winnebago off Fond du Lac is a major draw. Once safe ice sets up, anglers spread across the basin targeting walleyes, white bass and perch. Tip-ups rigged with shiners or rosies are set along travel routes, while jigging spoons, rattle baits and tungsten jigs work directly below the hole. Mobility is critical: drill multiple holes over small depth changes until you connect with a school. For panfish, downsize to subtle jigs and light line, especially on high-pressure days.

Across seasons, success around Fond du Lac comes from reading wind, structure and bait. Wind-blown shorelines and reefs often outproduce calm areas, particularly for walleye and smallmouth bass. Good electronics help you stay on contour edges, isolated rock and schools of baitfish. Keep presentations simple but sharp—fresh live bait, well-tuned crankbaits and properly sized fluorocarbon leaders all make a noticeable difference in this highly pressured, yet consistently productive fishery.

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 2 beaches and bays in this area.

Campground Creek - 13.55061781794km , Campbellsport Dam - 23.81887298062km
