Carp
Carp fishing around Bradford, Arkansas offers a unique angling experience, with the Little Red River and its backwaters providing ample opportunities. The river's slow-moving sections and adjacent lakes create ideal habitat for carp to thrive. The best time to target carp is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are most active. Focus your efforts on areas with muddy bottoms, submerged vegetation, and overhanging trees. A local tactic is to pre-bait your fishing spot with corn or boilies for a few days before fishing to attract carp to the area. Common baits include corn, dough balls, and flavored boilies. Carp in this area can grow to impressive sizes, often exceeding 20 pounds. Be prepared for a strong fight, as carp are known for their powerful runs. Bank fishing is accessible along many sections of the river, but a boat or kayak can allow you to reach more secluded and productive spots.
