    Default Kayak Trip Report, Bradford Sinks


    I fished Bradford on Redstone Arsenal today from 7AM till around 4PM. The fish were scattered, but consistent. I kept a limit and returned 50 or so larger fish and more little ones than I could count. Fish came off spider rigging Chartreuse Bobby Garlands on 1/16oz jig heads fished 4 to 5 foot deep in 6 to 7 feet of water. Also returned numerous Gills, Catfish and bass. Largest bass was around 6 pounds, but most were only about 12 inches. Water was stained with visibility of about a foot and 78 degrees. Beautiful day on the water. I'll past some pics tomorrow.

    Great job. After 8 weeks off the water I have the doctors permission to get back on the water. I may have to try 8 mile creek soon, after the results you DK have posted.

    I was wondering if the rain would effect any areas like that, DB proved no impact! Great trip DB, thanks for the report, well done.

    flintcreek, if you haven't put in off CR 1422 on 8 mile look at it close. Sliding a kayak down the bank with a rope is tough, but getting back up the embankment almost takes two people. I've drug my kayak through the woods, carried it over a mile on a little cart and hacked a path with a machete to get to the water before, but this little embankment ranks up there is one of the hardest areas to access.

    Flintcreek,there is a much easer put in on down on 1352. About 30 yards before you get to the bridge there is a pull off that goes down right to the creek. Longer paddle to the fish but don’t have to deal with that bank. But from experience unless you are in a tractor or monster truck don’t get off the gravel. As my granddaddy used to say that ground is rotten and if you get stuck you are just there. Lol

    Thanks Ditch and Damion for the info it sounds like the CR 1352 is probably my better bet. I am probably not up to dragging a kayak up such a steep embankment as on CR 1422. I give out pretty easy right now.

    Don't want to scare you off, I'll even email you a map with a couple "X" where I've been catching fish, but that hill is no joke. A guy in his 20s put in there one day when I was fishing and I had to help him get his kayak back up the hill. He said if I hadn't been there he probably would have left it.
