Andrews Lake, Delaware: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Andrews Lake stands in Kent County, Delaware. The surface lies 43 feet up. About 21 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Kent County list. Supplies mean a trip to Riverview, 0.2 miles off. Then Woodside East, 3.3 miles, and Felton, 3.6 miles. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Andrews Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Species logged across Kent County include white perch, American eel, common carp and bluegill. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Fish Andrews Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 77°F at the top of summer and 33°F at the bottom of winter. The swings are modest, so patterns change slowly. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. It sets the rhythm of the year at Andrews Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, McGinnis Pond at 0.8 miles is the nearest alternative. Rules at Andrews Lake are worth checking on the day.
