Proving yet again that his 2010 Manning Point Fishing Classic win was not a fluke, Mangrove Mike has had a successful afternoon chasing flatties on the Manning.
As is starting to become abundantly clear, the Evil Minnow flick baits (with S-Factor, of course) were the plastics that came up trumps again.
