Some of the best fishing of the year is happening now and should continue through the month of September. The Lake has settled down after all the incredible spring flooding. All species of fish are biting and fall fishing on Lake Livingston is looking good.
Lake Livingston consist of over 90.000 acres of water and 450 miles of shore line

White Bass: Stripers and White Bass are good below the Dam.
Throw a Zara Spook with a pet spoon trailer early morning
for Stripers and Whites. Look for surface schooling fish here.
Also, some schooling action now in the Pine Island area and east side of the old 190 road bed. Also look for schooling Whites mid – morning around Dove Island. Good action for Whites on the old 190 road bed jigging White slabs and trolled pet spoons. Lots of short fish being caught here. Whites and Hybrids good in the river channel cuts north and south of Riverside. Some schooling action here also.
Throw imitation shad medium diving crank baits early then troll pet spoons around the cuts and points.

Black Bass: Blacks taking craw jigs fished around the deeper boat houses mid and lower lake. Throw medium diving crank baits around the rock in Bethy Creek.

Crappie: Excellent action for Crappie now in northern creeks off the river. Fish minnows in the deep cut banks around laydowns.

Catfish: Blue Cats steady on trot lines baited with fresh shad set around the old river channel north of the 190 bridge. If the wind lays fish fresh chicken liver dropped around the old sunken bridges on the old road bed.

Good luck fishing.
