Well, this was my first time at Merrill Creek and what a nice lake it is. We went a little early in the year but I still managed to catch a couple. I brought a guest with me, Jim Mascola who has fished this lake before. I guess I can say he put me on them. He convinced me that the spot we were fishing would produce. Three hours later I call him every name in the book to myself. We stuck with the spot and I decided to throw my "magic" lure and pulled out two. Got the first one then number two right after that. I than called Jim the MAN! The water temp was 39-41 degrees, wind was light and variable, bluebird sky, air temp was 36 low 65 high, water was clear and the stage was normal. I caught the two smallmouth in 30ft of water with rocks and a steep drop-off to 60ft. Both were caught on a metal spoon type bait fished on 8# test. For more info on how I caught those fish please mail me a check for $100.00 give me your number and I'll call you when the check clears.
