For the trout stocking? I wanted to, but not knowing what time the trout will be stocked, I can't go till tomorrow. I have to be in Gonzales at 1:00pm. Good luck to any that are going today.

Wow! I figured it would be crowded. Hope tomorrow is the same as today. I have a couple of gold Super Dupers waiting to do their thing.

You should see em topping water. The Pond is small and shallow. There is also a lot of grass in it. Use a medium to smi-fast retrieve. You should do very well.

Fished there today with one of my buddies. Got there a little after 2pm. Both of us limited out in less than an hour using Gold Super Dupers. There were about a total 10 people fishing when we left at 4pm.
Like Chuck (BAF) said, I would try to get there at day break. A park employee told us that this upcoming weekend it will be crowded.
Side Note: Three dollar day use charge. There is also a money drop at the office for after hours use.

I finally got out to Palmetto around 12:30 pm. Had an unscheduled doctor visit for the wife. Caught 15, kept 5. Caught a bass about 2 pounds on the second cast. It was fun, and the Super Duper was the only thing they would hit. The Super Duper I used was gold with red "head". Another guy was using a solid gold and caught one fish right beside me. I guess the red made a difference. Others were using corn, fish bites, and some other baits with very little luck. I left at 2:30 due to some rude people that showed up. They would throw their lines with bobbers right across where I was fishing. Maybe ten people fishing. Got to watch a little girl about 5 or catch her first fish. Man was she excited! Wasn't what I expected, but it was fun and those little fish sure do battle. I think next "Bill's Day Off" will be somewhere in the hill country.
A bucket list item marked off.

Went back to Palmetto this morning, got there at 7:30 am and had the pond to myself. Caught 20 trout and kept 5 in a half hour. The fish were very active, dimpling the water all over the pond. I left at 8:00 am due to today being the wife's birthday.

That would be a great way to spend her birthday and you could have also taken home 10 fish.

Glad you got some fishing time in. Always nice to get a limit of Rainbow Trout. It is twice as nice when you have a whole pond to yourself.

Thanks for the comments, It is nice to get out and fish a little. Actually went again this morning, caught my limit, had the pond to myself again, all before having to rush home for a meeting this morning.

I am trying to take advantage. I can't say what is being caught during the day, but so far I have seen very few caught by the few others that I have seen. I'll give it a go every morning till it plays out. The 5 fish are just about what my wife and I will eat for a meal.

Made another quick trip out to Palmetto today, and once again had the pond to myself. Trout were very active and didn't take long to catch a limit. Lots of short strikes, caught about 20 fish. Today may be a big day for fish catching at Palmetto, a troop of boy scouts were camped across from the pond, and the campground was full. But I will try it again tomorrow morning.
