| Bass | Bass fishing at Lake Ferguson usually begins to pick up earlier in the year compared to other lakes around. Take a slower approach when fishing for bass during the winter months. 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 | Crappie fishing is still usually slow during this time at Lake Ferguson. Crappie may be caught in the deeper sections of the lake near any deep structure. Look for any structure in the lake and try various depths. Using jigs or minnows is a good choice. |
| Bream | Bream fishing during the winter months can be slow but look for action to pick up with warmer temperatures on the way. Try using red worms at different depths. |
| Catfish | Winter catfish are slow to bite. However, look for activity to pick up with warmer weather on the way. Try fishing near the bottom with liver, night crawlers, or cut bait. |
