Crappie
If you're looking for slab crappie in East Texas, Groveton is a great place to start. The area's claim to fame is Lake Livingston, a massive reservoir on the Trinity River known for its abundant crappie population. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged timber, brush piles, and boat docks in coves and creeks. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits. In the fall, as the water cools, crappie will school up in deeper water near the river channel and around bridge pilings. A fish finder is essential for locating these schools. A local tip: the Kickapoo Creek arm of Lake Livingston is a consistently productive area. Be aware that Lake Livingston can get crowded, especially on weekends, so plan accordingly. The crappie here tend to run a good size, with many exceeding the 1-pound mark, and some even reaching 2-3 pounds.
