Captain Scott Pierce knows these Texas waters like the back of his hand, and he's ready to put you on some serious White Bass action. Whether we're hitting Lake Livingston, Sam Rayburn, or Toledo Bend, this 4-hour afternoon trip delivers the kind of fast-paced fishing that keeps anglers coming back for more. You'll meet us at 300 State Park Rd 65 in Livingston, then we'll cruise out on a spacious 22ft Excel boat that's built for comfort and performance. This top-rated lake experience works perfectly for first-timers who want to learn the ropes or seasoned anglers looking to fill the cooler with quality fish.
The moment we fire up the engine and head out, you'll see why these three Texas lakes are legendary among White Bass enthusiasts. Captain Scott runs a tight ship but keeps things relaxed – no pressure, just good fishing and plenty of laughs. The 22ft Excel gives us room to move around while staying stable in choppy conditions, which is key when the White Bass are schooling and everyone's casting at once. We'll cover a lot of water during our 4 hours together, hitting the spots where Captain Scott has been finding consistent action. The afternoon timing works perfectly because that's when these fish often start their feeding frenzy. You'll watch your electronics light up as we locate schools, then it's game on. Don't worry about bringing anything – we've got all the rods, reels, tackle, and safety gear you need. Just bring yourself, some snacks if you want them, and get ready for some arm-burning action when these White Bass decide to cooperate.
White Bass fishing is all about reading the water and adapting to what the fish want on any given day. Captain Scott typically starts with proven techniques like trolling with small spoons or casting jigs near structure where baitfish congregate. The beauty of fishing these Texas lakes is the variety – we might find ourselves working submerged timber on Sam Rayburn one day, then targeting creek channels on Lake Livingston the next. Toledo Bend offers its own unique opportunities with deeper water and different structure patterns. Our tackle setup focuses on medium-light spinning gear that lets you feel every tap and headshake while still having enough backbone to handle a quality fish. We'll rig up with everything from 1/4 oz jigs tipped with soft plastics to small crankbaits that mimic the shad these bass love to chase. When we find an active school, it's often a matter of getting your bait in front of them quickly – White Bass don't stay in one spot long, and timing is everything. Captain Scott will coach you through the process, whether you're learning to work a jig properly or fine-tuning your casting accuracy.
White Bass are hands-down one of the most fun fish to target in Texas waters, and there's a reason they're called "sandies" by the locals. These silver torpedoes typically run 12 to 16 inches in our lakes, with the occasional 18-incher that'll make you think you hooked into something much bigger. What makes White Bass so exciting is their schooling behavior – when you find one, you've usually found fifty. They'll push baitfish to the surface in feeding frenzies that create some of the most visual fishing you'll ever experience. Spring and fall are prime time, but summer afternoons can produce fantastic action when these fish move into deeper water and suspend near structure. The fight is what keeps people hooked – pound for pound, a White Bass will test your drag and make multiple runs that'll remind you why you love fishing in the first place. They're also excellent table fare, with firm white meat that's perfect for the fish fry. Captain Scott knows the seasonal patterns on all three lakes, so whether we're targeting pre-spawn fish in the shallows or summer schools in 20 feet of water, we'll be fishing the right spots at the right time.
