Fishing Report
Lake Ferguson - 5/25/2023 9:26:29 AM| Species | Detail | |
| Bass | Bass fishing at Lake Ferguson usually begins to pick up earlier in the year compared to other lakes around. Take a slower approach. Suspended crank baits, spinner baits, and worms are a good choice. Just fish them slow this time of year. Target deeper areas with underwater cover. | |
| Crappie | With water temperatures starting to warm, also expect crappie activity start to pick up. Around this time anglers are still trolling deeper areas of the lake. Look for any structure in the lake and try various depths. Using jigs or minnows is a good choice. | |
| Bream | Bream fishing is still slow at this time. However, look for activity to pick up with warmer weather on the way. Try using redworms at different depths. | |
| Catfish | Catfishing is also slow at this time. Look for catfish to become more active with water temps starting to heat up. Try fishing near the bottom with liver, nightcrawlers, or cut bait. | |
