Nice Round Specimen…..7/19/2025
Bleeding 🩸 tail working in the cypress roots……all of the coastal counties in the northeastern part…
Do you love big bluegill?
Great bluegill day
Headed out to Lake Manatee and launched the kayak before daylight. Caught four bass to four pounds on a black popper before the sun was up. That bited ended at dawn. So, I pulled out the 3-weight fly rod and started catch hand-sized bluegill. End up with 40 -- all on my Myakka Minnow. Home by noon.

Yes, the lake is in Manatee County. It's nine miles east of I-75 off S.R. 64.
