: Lake Atkins: Donald Ramirez at Lucky Landing (479-264-0851) said anglers were catching a few largemouth bass with some quite sizeable up to 6 pounds. Meanwhile, the crappie are deep. Anglers are catching some but they are of no real size. A bunch of smalls, he said, about 9 inches, some are 10 inches, but the big ones are still down deep. The water temperature Wednesday was 67 inches. Donald says with a temperature of 65 degrees or cooler, the crappie will start moving into the coves, and he anticipates that coming in a couple of weeks. Rain is in the long-range forecast for a week from Friday.
Shad is started into be around the area, he said. For fishing for the crappie, he says the anglers are using minnows and chartreuse/black jigs. The bass anglers werent as forthcoming, neither where they were catching the bass nor the baits being used. They were showing photos of what they caught, however, and some bass were impressive, he said, but he hasnt seen any of the 10- or 11-pounders that have been caught there in the past.

| About: - Built in 1956, the 752-acre lake is one of several relatively shallow, timbered lakes built on feeder streams of the Arkansas River in west-central and central Arkansas. It's a cousin to Lake Conway, Lake Overcup and Harris Brake Lake. All four have reputations of four or more decades of good bream, crappie catfish and largemouth bass fishing. |
