I have fished Lake Livingston for a number of years but not that often. I have never really been able to figure out the lake and where to fish. The Trinity River feeds in to the northern part of the lake and is very muddy making the lake muddy as well. A couple years back, we did really well on the white bass using red painted little george's. No matter how much I try to use different baits, my dad always puts on the ole roadrunner and catches more fish than anyone. We tried 2 weekends ago. He caught 4 (2 white bass, 1 catfish, and 1 baby largemouth about the size of his palm LOL) using that thing. I caught 2 white bass (one on a spinner bait, and one on a little george). The temperature outside was 56-68 degrees. I tried fishing a fluke for a couple of hours, but took it the fish weren't seeing it because of the muddy water (3" visibility). He got 2 before I even got mine in the water and we thought we were going to slay them (this was all up in the Trinity River). I wouldn't consider 6 fish between 2 people slaying anything haha.
I was wondering if anyone has some tips for Lake Livingston, or suggestions on good locations. Most of the banks on the main lake are lined with bulkhead. We are going again this weekend and plan on trying the dam and also over by some of the islands. Note: every time we ask the locals where or how to catch some good fish out there, they always tell us to go trolling, and I really don't consider that fishing or a good time. They are clearly trolling me lol.
Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated. I hope to post some success pictures after the weekend.
Thanks!
Sam
