Excellent bluegill action

[SteveGibson]

Hit Lake Manatee before daylight and quickly picked up four bass to 4 pounds on a black popper. That action ended at daylight, but the bluegill bite picked up.

I caught 40 really nice 'gills on my Myakka Minnow. I fished the Gilley Creek area of the lake on the west side of the S.R. 64 bridge.

Used 6-weight on the bass and 3-weight on the bluegill.

The weather is hot, but it's not too bad when you get out before dawn.
