Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Winnebago fishing report for this crisp winter morning, December 27th. Ice is locking in solid thanks to them cold December temps—earlier than normal, say locals like those on Fox11Online. We're talkin' 8-12 inches in most spots, safe for foot traffic, but check as you go and bring a spud.

Weather's holdin' steady: highs around 25°F, light northwest winds at 5-10 mph, partly cloudy skies. Sunrise kicked off at 7:42 AM, sunset at 4:30 PM—short days mean prime bite windows mid-mornin' and late afternoon per FishingReminder's solunar tables. No tides on this big freshwater beast, but moon's waxin' gibbous, boostin' activity.

Fish are fired up! Spreaker's Lake Winnebago report from Dec 22 nails it: perch, bass, and pike bites strong as winter settles. Anglers pullin' limits of 8-10 inch perch on small jigs, slab-sided largemouth to 4 pounds, and northerns hammerin' 20-30 inchers. Walleye mixin' in shallower, 10-15 feet, with some quality 2-pounders hole-hoppin' style. Sturgeon spearin' season's wrap-up had monsters, but now it's panfish and predators rule.

Best lures: tip 1/16-oz jigheads with waxies or small minnows for perch—glow orange or chartreuse. For pike and bass, go tipped spoons like Lindy Flyer or big swimmin' jigs with soft plastics. Live bait? Fathead minnows or medium shiners on quick-strike rigs can't be beat.

Hot spots: Stockbridge Harbor reefs for perch clusters, and Doty Island breaks off Neenah for pike ambushes—drill tight grids, 12-18 feet.

Bundle up, respect the ice, and get after 'em!
