I got the boat out on Marburg yesterday too. No luck in the fishing department. But the boat ran great and it was a terrific day to be out on the lake. Had my son out and we were all over the lake.

Yesterday it happened. The female Eagle had one of her eggs hatch. There is one more to go. It should hatch soon. It is nice to see something good and can help make your day in our busy world. The video cam can be seen through Pa game commission site or Hanover eagle cam. Also Mom has a few snacks ( fish) in the nest .
Finally got the boat out on Marburg today. Windy and cold about 48deg & water temp 47deg. Didn't catch anything but did get to try out the new FF & light off the outboard for the first time. It ran good had the place to myself.
ALL RIGHT SOMEONE FISHING LAKES SOME WHAT NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE STATE. LOVE TO TRY NEW LAKES, THIS LAKE MARBURG ANY GOOD FOR CRAPPIE? THINKING OF GETTING OUT THIS WEEKEND TO DO SOME FISHING, WILL IT BE WORTH MY DRIVE FROM SELINSGROVE AREA?
Well Pa Crappie. I only fish it 8 or 10 times a year so perhaps someone else can give better advice. Marburg is probably the hardest lake to find fish. However when you find them you can get some really nice ones. Until you know were to fish and when to fish there it is very tough. A good example is: A few years ago I ice fished for yellow perch for 3 or 4. 8 hour days and only caught a few each day. Then one day I caught over 20 jumbos in about 2 hours. I keep 10 for a friend. He e-mailed me to tell me 8 of the ten were citation perch. This year we caught about 25 crappie in about 4 hours between 2 of us. The 2 largest were 13 inchers. I fished 2 trips before that and not a fish.

If I had a guaranteed hot spot I would PM you. However there never seems to be any guarantee place to catch fish. You may want to stop at B and B bait and tackle on Factory st. Hanover. They know the lake and can give current advise. I would try the first cove and launch at Black Rock. Sometimes the small coves on the left side of the large cove produces some crappie. Also many fish under the bridges and vertical jig them. Get a park map and give it a try. Hope this helps.
thanks for the help, addictedangleQuote:
