If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic by checking shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before making the day harder than it needs to be.

Species worth planning around

The fish data for Ferry Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the day practical and easy to change.

A practical first pass

If the goal were simply to get a feel for Ferry Lake, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
