Sturgeon spearing is still very much a thing on Winnebago Dog, and it's going on right now. Extremely bad conditions this year though, so I haven't been hearing anything other than the occasional comment. I thought I heard part of a report mentioning a 100+ pounder, but all I know is that I wouldn't consider going out there. I enjoyed your reference to skating out on the Fox to get to your fishing spot, but we really didn't see any ice on the river this year.
Thanks for the info Wibob. The river I was referring to was not the Fox but the FondduLac river. I was born and raised there in the town of FondduLac in 1948 I have many memories of fishing Lake Winnebago. Wendt's was a bar/restaurant along the lake between FonduLac and Oshkosh where you would see the sturgeon hanging,much like the picture you sent. Don't know if ice is safe enough now?
