Question about Atkins lake, where do you go to fish from the bank? I found the lake but never found a bank that wasn't in someone's back yard with a no trespassing sign. Is there another way to get to it without going down Atkins lake road that had no access that I seen, or overlooked.?
Fishing is meditation
I Know how you feel,not being able to get to a body of water with houses built right up to the waters edge.and every house that surrounds that body of water keeps there property posted to stay off.When all you want to do is fish there from the bank,cause you have no boat. when I first moved here about 10-11 years ago there was a road where they built the bridge walk-way over the Ark.river and you could drive for a few miles and park over to the side and park along there and fish the river.now its off-limits its a biking trail big money took away our bank fishing,cause were not important,and rich enough to have them to say lets help the bank fisherman out.The state that I was raised in the State had a law in place you had to have so many feet set-back from the waters edge so people could walk to the water and fish,Worked out great for both partys.
You have to have a boat to get on that water,and the boat ramp charges you to use it,I think its 5.00 Dollars....Dont give up fishing tho.

Every AGFC owned lake in Arkansas has a protective buffer strip between the waters edge and private property. This allows anglers to walk around the entire shoreline of these lakes and fish. The only catch is that you can not cross private property to get in the buffer strip. You have to access it from a public road or access area. Hope this helps.

Maybe worth contacting some of the property owners access. If you can get one to accept their neighbors might become more receptive to fishing in front of their property when they know you know one of their neighbors. We've done this with success in some areas around Orlando.
Well that sucks, I don't own a boat, I love to bank fish, there should always be an area for bank fishers, I have worn out the only other fishing spots I know, they have become boring with no bites, just wanted a change of scenery for a bit, if you know of any other spots around the White Hall, Pine Bluff area let me know please, I'm all ears for any suggestions.
Lake pine bluff has all kind of places ... also slack water harbour at regional park..
