MUSKIES Inc. Chapter 50

Welcome to the Penn Jersey Chapter 50 site. We’re a local chapter of MUSKIES Inc. which is the largest conservation organization in the world dedicated to the preservation of Muskie and the gratification of Muskie fishing. MI50 is celebrating its 10 year anniversary and we’ve achieved some great successes over the years.

Whether you have accidently caught a Muskie, seen them follow your lure or are already targeting them exclusively, MI50 is the perfect club to gain local experience from our seasoned members. We’re always looking for new individuals to join our club and below are just a few of the benefits:

Kids Day 2014

Details

June 29, 2014 The weather was beautiful for the Kid’s Fishing Day held on Sunday June 29th at Lake Nockamixon. Mike DiGuiseppe opened up the day thanking everyone for attending and a brief introduction on who MI50 is and what we do. We had 25 kids and about 20 parents. We started the day with Andy Desko from the PFBC teaching the kids about fishing, knots, catch and release and generally how to be a good citizen on the water. Andy passed out launch maps, knots charts and 2014 PFBC Rules and Regulations. The kids had great time fishing for about 2 hours. While there were a lot of bites on the worms, only 8 sunfish were caught by the kids. Rumor has it that little Greg Ridge landed a bass but we haven’t seen pictures to confirm it.

Marsh Creek Muskie Rescue

Details

Update: Tom Long rescuing a massive pure-bred muskie, which had large wound from attemped unlawful snagging. Other fish had hooks stuck in their sides from snagging attempts. Many fish beat up from trying to jump falls to get back to lake. Over the weekend, another 11 fish were saved - bringing the total to 36 fish. Another effort will take place late afternoon Wednesday May 4th 2014. Photos will continue to be posted in our photo gallery

High water level at Marsh Creek Lake has allowed Muskies to pass through the dam and end up in the spillway. An effort by MI50 and other volunteers is underway to save these muskies and return them to the lake. We would like to thank Mark Peters Jr and Robbie Peters, from Garnet Valley, PA for their volunteering efforts on Day 1 - which saw 10 muskies returned to the lake. On Saturday and Sunday, May 31 and June 1, an organized effort to return the remaining fish will take place. If you would like to help, please contact Tom Long at tomlong110 @ Comcast.net

The Lake is located in Marsh Creek State Park (675 Park Rd, Downingtown, PA 19335 ) Google Map

Nockamixon Muskies - A Day on the Lake with the Biologists

Details

Muskies Inc. Chapter 50 (MI50) was offered the opportunity to follow along Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) biologists, Greg Murphy and John Buzzar, as they conducted their annual Muskie population survey on Lake Nockamixon. MI50 has a significant interest in the pure-bred barred Muskellunge that were first introduced to the lake in the fall of 2012 at the average length of 14 inches. Through various fund-raising activities, MI50 spent nearly $14,000 on advanced fingerlings for Nockamixon in order to better Muskie fishing for everyone wanting to fish the southeastern part of Pennsylvania...
