This Manatee River fishing report video shows how to quickly find feeding fish even in areas you’ve never been to before.
This was a fun trip in which I used our new Smart Fishing Spots platform and Power Prawn USA lure to catch fish while exploring new waters on a quick morning trip.
The fish were super spooky since this was right after Memorial Day weekend with beautiful weather, but the shrimp imitation lure retrieved right up against the structure got some good results.
Here’s a video showing the highlights of the trip:

Conclusion
This Manatee River fishing report trip was another example of the fact that you don’t have to spend a lot of time in an area to be able to catch fish. Also, you don’t have to rely on live bait to get into some fun fish catching action.
I was armed only with our new Power Prawn USA lure along with knowing the latest feeding trends as explained in our weekend game plan lessons, and that was enough to get into some fun action even on a short trip in new water.

Do you think climate change is causing us to see more barracuda inshore up here?
I’m not sure what the reason is for more cudas being caught inshore up here.
So do you usually use the bigger shrimp,vs the Jr size
I like the bigger one for skipping up under docks/mangroves. The smaller one is my favorite for catching tripletail from under buoys and for bouncing around docks while rigged on a jig head when trying to get mangrove snapper and sheepshead in addition to the normal snook, reds, & trout.
