Auction Information and rules

On behalf of MI50 Penn Jersey Chapter of Muskies Inc., welcome to the 2019 MI50 Spring Auction. This auction is the best we have ever put together and contains some truly fantastic bait lots and guided trips. The response from the musky community has been nothing short of amazing and some of the premier bait makers, custom painters, from across the U.S. , Canada, have provided us baits that make this one of the most impressive auctions ever put together. Throw in donations from private collectors, club members and guided trips with famous and well know musky guides and you have one amazing auction.

The auction is held each year to help the Penn-Jersey Chapter of Muskies Inc (MI50) raise money to improve the local fishery in South Eastern PA. This is mainly accomplished by purchasing advanced fingerling Muskies (12”-20”) from WI or MN, and stocking them into local lakes. Thus far the emphasis has been on Marsh Creek Lake in Chester County where the club has built a viable and flourishing pure bred Musky population. Stocking started in 2005 and we now have fish exceeding the 50" mark in the lake. Given the success we have had on this body of water, the club’s goal is to move to new bodies of water while still maintaining the fishery at Marsh Creek. These lakes include Lake Nockamixion, which received an initial base stocking of 1100 advanced pures in the fall of 2012, with additional stockings in 2013, 2014, 2015, & 2017.

This years goal is to do a maintenance stocking of 1,100 advanced pures to be stocked on Lake Nockamixon in the fall of 2019,  along with touching upon the North Branch of the Susquehanna River.  This can only be accomplished by raising as much money as possible through auctions like this, Sports Show participation, and club events such as “Guide for a Day” Program.
