John Bolton

Member since July 2019 Livingston, United States

Background: I have been fishing on Lake Livingston for 40 years now and in that time, I've gotten to know the area like the back of my hand. If the fish are biting, I will find them. I love nothing more than sharing my passion for fishing and the outdoors with everyone. I enjoy being around people, teaching them how to fish, and showing them the beauty that Lake Livingston has to offer.

Half Day Trip (AM)

Spent a 1/2 day in search of Crappie, I have never fished for nor caught one before. We were on some fish within about 5 minutes after leaving the dock, I learned a quite a bit on how to fish for them, what to look for spot wise, equipment and more. It was a nice day and brought some home , Thanks again John Will use you all again and highly recommend

Almost forgot, if you’ve never had white bass fillets, you catch, they clean, you fry and they taste AMAZING!!! Fun times on the lake, thanks again John and Walker!
