I found that the best spot to park (if you want a short walk to the stump fields) is the circle between the single family homes and townhomes off of Deerlee.  If you're coming from 7100 onto hooes, make that second right at the light; Valleyfield, then left on Deerlee.  Don't park in the visitor spots at the THs, you could get towed.  

Hey Rondef,  where did you find that hawg?  Doesn't look like you were in the stump fields from the picture. Nice fish!

Rt123 to Hooes Road or Rt132 to Silverbook to Hooes Road.  There is a small dirt parking lot on Hooes Road.

Thanks, I was throwing a crankbait from the side of the lake.

Rob we used to have a set of wheels for my boat, way back before it is as heavy as it is now, but if you have wheels is there a path wide enough and smooth enough to move down? we should make some new wheels and get my boat into hard to get to places that would be good with a boat I.E. mercer, hunstman, and woodglen.  

      The path is a gravel road, smooth and flat. Once I get my/drum's jon welded,  i'll be slinging it in all those places. My jon is the lightest I ever seen. All I need is 2 bike wheels and mount them to a axle and strap it to the boat, Wala!

i hit up mercer today caught like a 10oz lmb thats about it lost 2 cranks in the stumps =(

I may head back out to Mercer tomorrow afternoon or Thursday afternoon when I get out of work.  I will post up pictures if I catch anything worth posting.

which side of the stumps were you fishing? i parked in a court off of huntsman blvd and walked down the path and the lake is to the right i didnt make it across to the other side kinda stuck it out there and walked down to that small cove before the bridge in the woods. looks like the sun disapears over the other side of the lake around 530 gonna try that side next time i go...also what are they biting? i caught mine on a shad colored crank decided to switch it up to a spinner and jig didnt catch anthing else

I have been catching them on crankbaits and rigged platics.   I have also been catching them on both sides of the lake.  I try to fish areas that others don't walk to and fish.

I took my friend Paul to Mercer this afternoon. I only caught a dink but he landed four lmbs, 2 dinks a 1.5lb and this nice 4lb lmb.  This was my friends first time fishing here.
