Weekend Fishing Report for Texas Lakes and Offshore
Black crappie at 17 feet along upper Lake Livingston with jigs and black bass on shorelines using worms. Water at 67 degrees. Lake Sam Rayburn reports black bass on pink worms at 20 feet along old roadbeds and creek beds. Somerville may yield white perch if baited last winter. Offshore trips could show red snapper if wind stays calm. speckled trout may not improve soon, so take it easy this weekend.
