    There are two lakes there and the fishing can be good at times.

    They also have some big green carp in them.

    I think it is Lake Austell that is stocked with Florida hybrid bass. I know of several 10 pound plus bass coming out of these lakes. Lake Dunn has big bream and catfish. Both lakes have large cats. I have never fished them. They are trolling motor only lakes. There are nice camp grounds. Nice cabins can be rented too.

    Now that you know the names of these lakes,maybe you can do a search on them.

    No crappie that I know of. I do know Lake Poinsette has them.

    Back in January I was putting together a trip to Arkansas for April and ended up deciding to concentrate on this area. I called and reseved a cabin at village creek. They were very friendly. I cant find a whole lot on Austell and Dunn but what I did find seemed to indicate both were good fishing lakes for crappie, bream, and bass. We are going to use this as our base location and then travel out to Midway, Storm Creek, Bear Creek, and maybe Old Town. But who knows, if we hit the fish at one lake we may just stick with it. My hope is that Midway will be right with the water level. I think it has some of the best potential, along with old town, of producing the larger crappie. There doesnt seem to be alot of people here that have commented on their personal experience at Austell and Dunn although a couple of guys were great about offering advice...CEB is one of them...you might PM him.
