Crappie
Crappie anglers heading to Huntsville, Texas, should set their sights on Lake Livingston. This large reservoir is a crappie haven, offering abundant submerged structure and ideal habitat. The spring spawn is legendary, with crappie congregating in shallow coves and around brush piles. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits. As the water warms, crappie move deeper, suspending around submerged timber and bridge pilings. Trolling with jigs or minnows at various depths can be highly effective. A local pro-tip: the Highway 190 bridge is a consistent producer, but expect company. Also, be aware of the lake's fluctuating water levels, which can drastically change crappie location. Check recent fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on depth and location. Remember to adhere to creel limits and size restrictions.
