Kayak Trip Report, Bradford Sinks
I fished Bradford on Redstone today from daylight till about 4PM. There were no fish or bait in the open water, so it took a while to locate the fish on the pad edges. I finally found Crappie in three or four areas and fish were caught spit between jig and bobber with some single pole mixed in to work further back in the pads. Best color was a Chartreuse Bobby Garland on a 1/32oz jig head fished two to three feet deep. The pad edges were in about six feet of water. I kept a limit of Crappie that were 9 to 10 inches returning a handful of larger Crappie and endless short fish. Also caught numerous Bass and small gills.
The water was 86 degrees at daylight and warmed to 92 degrees by the time I left. Visibility of about 18 to 24 inches. Pics later, all and all nice day on the water.
