Fished south end of Mercer Is. mid day for about three hours, take
down was three smallmouth two of them were about a pound & half and the other was 17 1/2" around four pounds. Plastics seem to work best and when boat traffic slows down come Sept. fishing should improve. At least you won't have to fight so much chop from all the boats and the bass should be fattening up for winter. Nice size fish in this lake and I'm amazed not more people take advantage of this fishery in our back yard.
