Lake Manatee 11/28/2008 (with pics)
Headed out to Lake Manatee this morning. Caught quite a few quality fish. Got some nice bluegill, speckled perch and tilapia. Caught some bass, but they were all small.
Top fly was my No. 8 Nymph FLY (Fuzzy Leach Yarn) that I just tied on Thursday. It did really well.
Specks are in the shallows and average about 1 1/2 pounds. I fished east of the S.R. 64 bridge along the north side of the lake.
Bite was semi-slow, but consistent. You just had to keep your fly in the water.
Got quite a few fish in the afternoon on the Myakka Minnow.

Tilapia (great fight):
