Stringer of Crappie Caught at Arkabutla Lake
Every year thousands of visitors come to Arkabutla Lake to go fishing. The lake is home to several species of native fish to Mississippi waters, such
as Largemouth Bass, Bream, Catfish, and Crappie. Over the years perhaps
nothing has become more renowned at Arkabutla Lake than it’s consistency
for producing huge Crappie! Several national sporting and fishing magazines
declare Arkabutla Lake as one of the finest Crappie fishing lakes in the Southeast. Caught
in 1991, a Black Crappie weighing 4 lbs 4 oz was caught at Arkabutla and still
remains the current Mississippi State record.
Access to fishing Arkabutla couldn’t be made any easier, with 8 boat
launching ramps to choose from, ample bank fishing locations, and some of the
best Catfishing you could imagine can be experienced at the Outlet Channel
which also includes an ADA accessible fishing pier. So if fishing is
your passion, then maybe we are your lake.
