Hokey Lake near Pierson: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Set in Volusia County, Florida, this is Hokey Lake. Tidal water begins 24 miles from here. About 14 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Volusia County list. For supplies, Pierson is 4.7 miles out. Further out sit Crescent City (8.9 miles) and Astor (11 miles). Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Hokey Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Public wildlife records from this area list bluegill, largemouth bass and warmouth. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. On Hokey Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 81°F in July and bottoms out near 57°F in January. Wet and dry spells shape the year more than temperature. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. The season on Hokey Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Cowarts Lake, 0.6 miles out. Ask locally about Hokey Lake if anything is unclear.
