Floaters rolling down lake make it a interesting experience.

Yes it does. I hit one in the river channel between palmetto and pools two summers ago that had to have been floating only a few inches under. Thankfully it was soft and only stuck wood pieces in my intake that I was able to get out. Scared the mess out of me though.

It�s definitely a lake you don�t want to be on when she gets rough waves are big and come from all directions. Far as bass fishing I hate it and will drive to Rayburn or Toledo before I go to that [censored] hole.

LOL L78. I was there during the best of times and the worst of times. As far as I know Livingston was the first lake in Texas to have hydrilla, the fishing was awesome for about two years until they sprayed it. Then it turned into the Dead Sea. People that lived on the lake would drive to T-Bend and Rayburn. I didn't have a d.l. yet so I was stuck there to grind it out. Randy Dearman was the big stick on the lake at the time and me and his son Slade would fish from dawn to dusk for maybe a few bites. They did mark the lake at one point from North to South with bouys, but they got washed away by storms and floods. The only place that consistently produced was a spring fed creek that stayed crystal clear and cold, and had some pepper grass in it. The bass would stack up in there this time of year.
Sure made fishing a lot easier when I was able to finally get on Rayburn and T-bend. Back in the day a 12-13lbs sack would get a nice check in most tournaments. Now it usually takes 17-20lbs. Still a tough lake to figure sometimes if you're not used to that kind of fishing.
