Crappie
Crappie fishing on Lake Livingston, near Livingston, Texas, can be incredibly rewarding. This large lake is known for producing good numbers of crappie, and even some slabs. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn, congregating around brush piles and submerged timber in coves and creek arms. Minnows and jigs fished under a bobber are the go-to presentations. During the summer and fall, target deeper structure using jigs or minnows on drop shot rigs. Pay attention to water temperature and clarity; crappie tend to prefer slightly stained water. The Penwaugh Marina is a popular spot and offers good access to some productive crappie areas. Be sure to check the lake's water levels before heading out, as conditions can change rapidly.
