There's nothing quite like starting your day with a rod in your hands and the promise of white bass schooling up across Lake Livingston's sprawling waters. 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 during this 4-hour morning charter. Whether you're bringing the family for their first taste of fast-paced fishing or you're a seasoned angler looking to load the cooler, this trip delivers the kind of consistent action that keeps folks coming back season after season. Meet us at 300 State Park Rd 65 in Livingston, and we'll have you hooked up and hauling in fish before the sun climbs too high.
Your morning kicks off bright and early when you meet Captain Scott at the launch. We're fishing from a spacious 22-foot Excel boat that comfortably handles up to 4 anglers, giving everyone plenty of room to cast and fight fish without getting tangled up. The boat's equipped with all the safety gear you'll need, plus top-notch fish-finding electronics that help us locate those schools of hungry white bass. Lake Livingston spans over 90,000 acres, but don't worry about covering all that water – Captain Scott knows exactly where to find the fish based on seasonal patterns, weather conditions, and recent reports from the lake. The atmosphere stays relaxed and fun, perfect for kids getting their first taste of fishing or experienced anglers wanting to enjoy some light-tackle action without the pressure of chasing trophy fish.
White bass fishing is all about reading the water and staying mobile until you find active schools. We'll be using light spinning tackle rigged with small jigs, spoons, and live bait depending on what the fish are hitting that day. Captain Scott provides all the gear, so you don't need to worry about bringing anything except your fishing license and enthusiasm. The technique is straightforward but effective – we'll cruise the lake looking for diving birds, surface activity, or marks on the fish finder that indicate schooling white bass. Once we locate a school, it's all about getting your bait down to the right depth and hanging on. These fish hit hard and fight with surprising strength for their size. The key is keeping your drag set properly and working your lure with just enough action to trigger strikes. When the bite is hot, it's not uncommon to have multiple hookups at once, which makes for some exciting action on deck.
White bass are the perfect target for anglers who want consistent action and great table fare. These silvery fighters typically run 1 to 3 pounds in Lake Livingston, though you might hook into a bruiser that pushes 4 pounds or more. They're schooling fish that travel in large groups, feeding aggressively on shad and other baitfish throughout the water column. Spring and fall offer the best white bass action, but these fish stay active year-round with the right approach. What makes white bass so exciting to catch is their aggressive strike and the way they school up – when you find one, you've usually found a bunch. They're not shy about hitting lures, and they'll often compete with each other to get to your bait first. The fight is honest and fun on light tackle, with these fish making short but powerful runs before coming to the boat. Plus, white bass are considered some of the best eating fish in Texas waters, with firm white meat that's perfect for the dinner table.
This 4-hour morning charter gives you the perfect taste of what Lake Livingston has to offer without taking up your entire day. Captain Scott's experience on these waters, combined with a well-equipped boat and all the gear you need, sets you up for success from the moment you step aboard. The trip works great for families looking to create lasting memories, friend groups wanting some friendly competition, or solo anglers seeking a guided experience on unfamiliar waters. With optional add-ons available to customize your trip, you can tailor the experience to exactly what you're looking for. Morning trips are especially productive for white bass, as these fish tend to be most active in the cooler hours before the sun climbs high. Don't wait too long to secure your spot – the best fishing dates fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons when the white bass are really turning on.
