Andrews Lake Fishing near Perry, Florida

• Overview

  Andrews Lake is listed under Taylor County, Florida. It stands 89 feet above sea level. It runs to roughly 40 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. There is roughly 0.9 miles of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Perry sits 11 miles from the bank. Tallahassee sits 39 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Andrews Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover redfin pickerel, spotted sunfish, yellow bullhead, bluespotted sunfish and flier. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. On Andrews Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 81°F and January near 52°F. The water stays warm and open throughout. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Plan around that when you fish Andrews Lake. Late summer often means an early start or nothing at all.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Nose Lake sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Andrews Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
