Lake Manatee can produce some good fish. It has some deep water (for FL) 30+ feet. I like fishing under or near the bridge on Hwy 64. Not having a boat makes it a challenge. The lake has a 20hp max so it seems to keep a lot of folks from coming there. I see people fishing at night off the bridge at Gilly Creek but have never tried it for crappie. There's a fish camp near the bridge at Hwy 64 and I'm sure they can share some info.
