Lake Livingston Texas Fishing invites you for a day on the water with Captain Richard Bolton. This is a family-friendly charter that guarantees that children will have the time of their life, both fishing, and bonding with their family members.

Captain Bolton will take you out on his 25-foot Ranger pontoon, originally built in 2003, and restored in 2016. This boat is powered by a 300 HP Evinrude engine, with a maximum cruising speed of 22 knots. This makes it ideal for the lake and for a quick change of productive spots.

The boat is equipped with all the safety and electronic features you might need and features all-new seats and flooring which were installed in 2016 for your comfort. The boat also has a Bimini top to shelter from the sun and is great if you are taking the whole family out.

Lake Livingston is the second largest lake in Texas and is very rich in fish species that are of good game and good food quality. You will be able to experience a half day or full day of fishing on beautiful Lake Livingston targeting White Bass, Crappie, Striped Bass and Catfish.

The charter will provide you with everything you need, just make sure you bring a cooler so you can transport your fish home safely.

Lake Livingston Texas Fishing looks forward to meeting you and making memories with you and your family. Captain Bolton says that if the weather is hot and you tire from fishing,  you can beach the boat at Pine Island and enjoy swimming and playing in the water.

Now just book a trip that's to your liking, block out a date in the calendar, and prepare for your next fishing adventure!

    Captain Richard and Lake Livingston

    Half Day Trip on July 16, 2023 • 2 adults

    Captain Richard was great with my family and patient as we headed out for our first fishing trip on what we learned was the 2nd largest lake in Texas. He had equipment to lead us around the lake to find pockets with a lot of fish and when he said there was fish present, he was right as we pulled in bass after bass. Thank you, Captain Richard for the great fishing experience. We look forward to doing it again in the future.

    Half day with Captain Richard

    Half Day Trip on June 11, 2023 • 5 adults

    We had a wonderful time fishing on Lake Livingston with Captain Richard. He knew the best spots to take us, and we got to try jigging and trolling. Captain was very patient with our two 11 year old boys. They caught so many fish and the captain was helping us get all the fish off the hooks. It was a very successful day. We will plan to do it again with Captain Richard.

    80th Birthday Trip

    Half Day Trip on June 17, 2023 • 3 adults

    Too our dad out for his 80th birthday. The boat was great for three people with plenty of room. First couple of spots we hit we could get the fish to hit but the third time was the charm. We caught our limit of 75 and had a great time.

    Chilly but Still Successful

    Half Day Trip on October 30, 2021 • 2 adults

    It was a beautiful crisp fall morning with the temperature at 43 degrees when we left the dock. My husband and I didn’t have our hopes up for catching any fish since a cold front had moved through. Captain Rick definitely knows the right spots to go to. It’s a lovely area to fish and we didn’t leave empty handed. I surprised my husband with this trip and he was very happy with his gift.

    He is a friendly, fun guy to be around, We fished hard on this hot sunny August day with some success but it was slow. Captain Richard tried a number of spots and fished hard for us to be on some white Bass.
