Andrews Millpond Fishing near Timmonsville, South Carolina

• Overview

  South Carolina holds Andrews Millpond, in Darlington County. The ground around here is oak and grass. About 18 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. 9.5 miles away sits Timmonsville, the nearest town. Further out sit Bishopville (10 miles) and Hartsville (11 miles). The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Andrews Millpond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists largemouth bass, blackbanded sunfish and ironcolor shiner. Local agencies keep the authoritative list for each water. Andrews Millpond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 43°F in January to roughly 80°F in July. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Expect Andrews Millpond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Boyds Pond is 5.2 miles distant. Nothing here settles the position at Andrews Millpond for certain.
