Lake atkins

I called the landing and they stated that the water was about 2 feet high and not muddy at all. I may give it a try Sat.

Is it a good crappie lake? How big is it?

I have heard it is a good crappie lake but it seems to be a little better known for the monster florida bass and big red ears. I have never seen it but Have been trying to get overthere for the past few weeks. 752 acres AGFC | Lake Information and Maps

You may be surprised by the conditions of the houses around the boat ramp !

Please explain. If the lake is a mess I will go to Eufaula

The lake itself is o.k.. But the surrounding neighborhood looks like a dump. I drove by to check it out while on a trip and took one look and decided I would never go fishing there. when I go fishing I try to find a place with beautiful scenery. Because of it's location, it is most likely over fished. Now this is just my opinion. But if it was me I would go to Eufaula. Tony

Oh, ok. Hopefully my truck won't get broke into.

The neighborhoods aren't exquisite but I have never had any problem. Launch ramp on the north east corner of the lake (Bells Chapel Rd) is best if you ask me. The only one with a dock.

Where you from Swamper? I haven't ever been there so is there a bait store close to the Chapel Rd ramp?

the lake is up more that a couple feet i assure you and as of yesterday afternoon pretty muddy.

no bait shop at bell's, you will have to go to lucky landing for live bait.
