Lake Worrell, Florida: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lake Worrell lies within the bounds of Pasco County, Florida. The surroundings are scrub and brush. This is a pocket water of some 24 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Jasmine Estates sits 1.5 miles from here and is the nearest stop. For a city, Clearwater is 24 miles off. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lake Worrell

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include Florida gar, flathead grey mullet, black crappie and bluegill. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. Read Lake Worrell before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 82°F in July and bottom out at 59°F in January. Summer is the season to work around, not winter. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. That shapes the year on Lake Worrell.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Scout Lake at 0.4 miles is the nearest alternative. Rules at Lake Worrell are worth checking on the day.
