Redondo Lake is a lake in Yuma County, Arizona and covers about 11 acres, reaches about 14 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 61.6 acre-feet.
Redondo Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Redondo Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, and Largemouth Bass.
For black crappie, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops; write down the productive depth.
For bluegill, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets; keep the bait near useful cover; slow down after the first bite on this 11-acre lake.
For largemouth bass, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover; make the next cast parallel to the edge; slow down after the first bite on this 11-acre lake.
For channel catfish, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat; give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
While learning Redondo Lake, other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
How to Read the Water
A direct approach on Redondo Lake works like this: do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
At Redondo Lake, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
For a first pass on Redondo Lake, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
At Redondo Lake, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
Redondo Lake FAQs
What is a simple way to start fishing for black crappie at Redondo Lake?
Start where bait gathers, then fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops; fish the edge from top to bottom.
What does the 14 feet deepest point mean when fishing Redondo Lake?
Treat 14 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.
What is the best reason to change spots at Redondo Lake?
Check the clearest edge before moving, then move after checking the same useful feature at several depths without finding bait, a clean edge, or a bite; watch for food before choosing lure depth.
