Thank you for the heads up. Yeah i have been comming up to Mercer for 25 years, i am 27 years old couldnt think of a more amazing place. Thank you for the tips, like you i'm sure, I prefer to stay on the smaller lakes fished many of them including the harder to reach lakes, like Twin and Sherman before there was a boat Launch. My goto lake, becasue its close to ours, used to be Owl but I think that lake is on the down turn. I will either go to Echo or North Bass Lake my uncle boated a few 40+ last year and a few in the 30's not bad for a lake thats suppose to have winter kill huh, any other tips would be great, thank you
