While fishing the Blanco County Hill Country I decided to hit the Blanco State Park to see if any Sunfish were active. It was a warm day with plenty of blue sky.(Last warm spell). I baited a night crawler and stared to fish the tree overhangs along the Blanco River bank. After a few minutes I got a hit and it was a Rainbow Trout. I threw out a little further along some rock beds and got another trout. I ended up with a limit of Rainbow Trout caught all on worms. One of the fish was 10 inches and super fat. I took it to the scale and it weighed .51 Lbs which was good enough for the pending Blanco State Park Rainbow Trout Record. Paper work is on it's way to Texas Parks&Wildlife. When I cleaned the fish it was loaded with lots of Berkley Trout Power Bait along with nine kernels of corn. As full as that fish was it still wanted a night crawler. I also was able to catch a couple of small bass and a few Bluegill. A great surprise catch and a very unexpected water body record all caught on the "Bait of Champions". "WORMS". It just don't get any better!

Awesome.....nightcrawlers are my favorite bait to use.One time while fishing in Tilden everyone was tearing up the crappie with minnows,all i had were crawlers.Well,i ended up doing just as good with those crawlers & took some crappie home.

Thanks Mike for the reply! That is why I love fishing worms. You can catch just about anything on em. Side Note: I have also caught bunches of Crappie on worms also while fishing for the sunnies.

The bite should stay good down here into the first week of March. Stockings will continue in some of the San Antonio ponds through February. Chris: There is one more stocking at the Blanco Park this year. I think it is February 5th which falls on a Thursday. Maybe we can cross paths! Side Note: Never thought of getting a Rainbow Trout Record especially in Texas! Judging how they stock the Blanco River the fish have a lot of area to roam. Lot's of em survive longer and are pretty good bait stealers. I am sure that there have been other very FAT trout caught with a the possibility of plenty more being caught in the future.

Chuck -- We are planning a family outing that day to BSP so I will be looking for you ! Yeah, these guys are very good at stealing bait. Most of the ones we caught had corn or PowerBait in them. And some of it was our corn ! Thanks Chris and Bob for the replies! Bob: Yes Sir they are still biting. The bite should stay good down here into the first week of March. Stockings will continue in some of the San Antonio ponds through February. Chris: There is one more stocking at the Blanco Park this year. I think it is February 5th which falls on a Thursday.
