Sturgeon Spearing Season Getting Closer

Well, the official deadline in which you can purchase your 2013 Lake Winnebago System Sturgeon Tag has come and gone.  This means that we are only 4 months from Sturgeon Spearing Season!

Now is a great time to take a look at your shack and make sure everything is in good condition and ready for the upcoming season.  Now is also a great time to do any work on the shack that you have wanted to do but have put off since spearing season is still so far away.  The weather is only going to get colder, so now is a great time to take advantage of the weather and get you shack in tip top shape!

It is also a good time to build spears, fix spears, make decoys, make targets, and even start up that chainsaw to make sure you are fully prepared! 

There are lots of Sturgeon still in the system, especially since last year's dirty water and sketchy ice conditions reulted in low harvest numbers!  Hopefully this year will bring better ice conditions and cleaner water to allow more people to enjoy this unique experience we have!
