Toughest lake around. Lots of wind make it hard to fish.Also the crew boats are annoying. My best hours on the lake have been early and after 5. Have caught a couple 6lb bass and a huge tiger musky near the dam side

Within 20 minutes, using a power worm, I landed a 9 lb bass. Reeled it in and lost at right at the edge. Spent another two hours fishing at various spots, didn't catch another fish.

It is not an easy lake to fish, but if you are experienced and utilize a boat or waders you can be quite successful. Suggested Tackle include Various Plastic Baits, Jigs, and Spinnerbaits.

E.W.W, 9 Lb Bass in Lake Mercer? Though it is possible, it would be difficult make that claim if you only got it to the side of the boat.
