I caught my first 2004 fish of the year! A nice sized Rainbow trout. The weather was a balmy 56 degrees and there were happy walkers and dogs enjoying their walks around the lake. I got there at 12:30 and caught my fish at 3:30pm. There were a few good sized Rainbows caught as well as bass. I am so glad I found Bradley Lake - it's open year round and seems to have an abundance of fish. I must say that I used my Bobber With A Brain - if you have not heard of them you should find the website and read about it. This is perfect for those of you that seem to lose hooks and weights due to snags...not only does the bobber keep you from losing gear - it racks in the fish! The only reason I tried the bobber was because I won it on one of Mike's contests! Woo hoo! More reports later!
