This is a summary based on available information.

Mercer Lake’s shallow, stained water supports warmwater species such as panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike, with some potential for walleye where habitat allows. Weedlines, shallow structural changes, and any inlets or outlets are prime spots to target, particularly during early and late in the day. Because angling pressure is lighter than on marquee lakes, straightforward presentations can often produce consistent action.

I had AI give me the coordinates for the launches I had on file. They are not super accurate, but should give a rough idea of where you can find the landings. If no coordinates were available at all I didn't link to the map.
