How to Fish Walleye - Lake Winnebago

Larry is back on his home water of Lake Winnebago to get in on the early fall bite of some well-fed Walleyes and White Bass. Larry also discusses size limits, and what they could mean for the health of the fishery.

phil is aweome and funny

[@larrabeejl]

Simple do it like Minnesota on the rainy. Anything smaller than 19.5 can be kept. 19.5 to 29 haft to be released. Only one over 29 can be kept.

[@joed3921]

Forgot to ask did ya only make enough for you!!!

[@kindredspiritzz66]

winnebago isnt a very good walleye lake anymore. Back on the early 90s they had a 15 inch size limit and it seemed everything you caught was 14 1/2 inches or less but it seemed there were more walleyes around. I'd like to see a 17 inch size limit myself

I have a slot limit on my boat. Don't like it, fish from shore. 15"-22" only.

[@paulwalleyefisher8983]

1iving2di3 I'll fish from shore and catch and keep the big ones

[@tac21_10]

1iving2di3 same I never keep big females

[@nateclements2005]

So what kind of pole, and line do you recommend

[@calebihrig2915]

Nate... did you watch the video? He specifically talked about what type of line he was using, and why.

[@swalker9482]

Every lake is different, we have no natural reproduction,stocked regularly does nothing for the system to release a 27 inch walleye, we have a 16 inch min. Which is good, my point is there should be a minimum, that's the future along with big ones if natural reproduction, every lake has to be managed differently

thanks for watching

[@311Ronparrish]

Catch a small fish, bitch about size limit, catch a small fish, bitch about a size limit. Catch an eater, bitch about a slot limit.

winnebago sucks for walleye. not worth fishing.

[@andykendzor891]

I wish everyone was as dumb as you and not fish bago, If you can't catch walleye on Winibago you should stick to bass fishing

[@thunderhead870]

Andy Kendzor make sure you take those 10in walleye home to eat

[@andykendzor891]

LOL you must trouble catching walleye period, the ave fish size in 2018 was bigger than I've seen in a long time. As a second generation professional fisherman, who has fished this system since 1976 I can guarantee that there is not a lake in the state that produces more quality fish. Hire a guide brother.

[@kindredspiritzz66]

i agree, it sucks

[@vikingslayer34]

If you think it sucks it's because you must be a shitty fisherman. Winnebago is loaded with walleyes.
