Thread: Atkins lake

i have fished all three for years lake pb. has some slabs if you can find them,the other two you catch a bunch but not much size (9-11)inch is about it.

I have fished atkins but its been a few years. Ditto on what meatgetter said atkins has got em but they aren't very big.

I will have to try it, are they deep enough to put a 24 ft. pontoon on, I would think lake pine bluff would but not sure. thanks guys

Lake PB has ramp enough to launch the toon but many a stump, would depend on water level. I would say it would be the best for fishing from that big a boat. They have upgraded all the aminities on the south bank, across from the courthouse. Atkins would handle the size but you may have trouble getting to the structure, could do some trolling, problem there is the ramp, it can be a PITA in a jon. Never fished Noble but I don't think there is much more than slipping off the bank, if that.

if you are going to fish these lakes better get a reg.boat !!!!!! no real ramp on noble.

Went there with a friend that has a smaller boat, tried both Atkins, and Pine bluff lakes not one nibble, but pine bluff lake was only about 5 ft. and Atkins was about 6.5 to 7ft. seemed to be way down or is this the normal depth for these lakes or are they drawn down. Could be that we are way behind on rain too. and they are not as full....wind was blowing hard at both places that day.....

lake pb is drawn down but their is some deeper water than 5ft. you just did not find it, atkins is from like of rain .

Lake Atkins Is just off hwy 64, not 65. A fur piece from Pine Bluff. When they are biting at Atkins it is usually at the Lucky Landing bay and you can walk across the bay on boats when they are biting.
