Congrats Banker. You always find'em and get'em to bite. Tell me about the trout worms please. How long are they and how do you bait a hook with them. I need to keep some kind of bait with me for use when I do not have live bait. Do you fish them on a bottom rig, float rig, or both?

Thank you very much Banker. The pictures are helpful. The package says the worms are 3 inches. Do you pinch off any of the worm, or use the whole thing?

Great report as always Chuck.
The creeks are a mess around here too. Lake Somerville is up 10 ft above normal already and more rain coming. Pond fishing has continued to be fairly good.
I've been having fun catching white bass below the spillway on my fly rod lately. They will be releasing water for the next couple months so at least I have that outlet to fish. I sure want to get back to fishing places like the San Marcos and Little Blanco though.

fish 'till I drop : No problem Sir. The trout worms are a great go to artificial bait. Been using them for years. Jamie: Thanks for the reply.With all of the rain we have been getting seems the ponds clear up the best. Getting pretty good numbers of both Redear and Bluegill out of them. Will be fishing them a lot this summer!

Chuck, you remind me a lot of an old buddy of mine in Colorado, who had to either begin or end every trip we made to the mountains with food from some local hole in the wall Mexican joint up in God's Country! He was a Dos Equis guy, however...

That is not Texas rigged. I am not as technical as you Jagg! I have called that a Texas Rig all my life and to me that is what it is. I know that the hook is put back into the worm once it is threaded. I always leave the hook exposed for sunfish. That is just me.

Awesome post Chuck. With all the rain we have been having those ponds will be a good place fish. Does a lot of rain effect the bite on ponds? Again awesome post and some nice fish. Good job!
