Muskellunge Pike Fishing
What is the best way to catch fish in this lake?
The 1,275-acre Lake Marburg is a warm-water fishery. Popular species are yellow perch, bluegill, northern pike, crappie, largemouth bass, catfish, muskellunge and tiger muskellunge. Bow fishing is permitted in the shallow cove areas.
Lake Marburg is in the Big Bass Program. Large and smallmouth bass must be a minimum of 15 inches long to be harvested and the daily limit is four fish of either species, combined.
I have spoken to several others who have fished this lake and they have said that the best method is to get near the bridges in deeper water and throw live minnows. All species of gamefish will take a minnow. Now if you are fishing walleye and/or crappie, jigs tipped with grubs and/or minnows have been said to take fish. I have heard that the best time is in the evening. I don't know much about the lake myself, but am trying to recall what I have heard other anglers say in regards to the fishing. Hope this helps and if you do decide to go fishing there...good luck and tight lines!
