Andrews Pond Fishing Guide, Chesterfield County, Virginia

• Overview

  Chesterfield County in Virginia is where Andrews Pond sits. It lies 144 feet above sea level. It measures about 25 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. The bank runs about 1.1 miles all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. Matoaca is the closest place, 4.5 miles off. Colonial Heights lies 4.6 miles off, Ettrick another 4.8 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Andrews Pond

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Across Chesterfield County, recorded fish include bluegill, redbreast sunfish, flathead catfish, green sunfish and smallmouth bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Andrews Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 78°F, while January sits near 37°F. The year never really closes; it just gets uncomfortable in summer. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. The season on Andrews Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. A pier 0.9 miles from here gives a platform over deeper water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lake Margaret at 3 miles is the sensible second choice. For Andrews Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
