"Musky Motel" area?????

[Deleted]

As per an article I found on Google from the Reading newspaper there is an area on Blue Marsh that is "known to local Bass Anglers" as the Muskie Motel. Apparently it is located on the east side of the no wake along a 1/4 mile stretch of a ledge. Does anyone have any clue where this area may be? I have my own ideas but it's only a guess; there's not a whole lot of possibilities though. I am thinking it may be around the bend down from the Old Church Road bridge; again, that's just a guess.

I fish for Bass (although I am happy with anything on my line) but I have yet to boat a Musky and would love for this upcoming season to finally be the one where I land one. From information I have seen it seems that a lot of Bass anglers tend to hook a Musky when using a crankbait when fishing for Bass. I just really want to land one this year and am looking for help. If this so-called "Musky Motel" area does exist please help, haha! If you don't want to share info on the open forum please send me a PM; I'll be more than happy to share info on Chambers or Hopewell in exchange.

I hooked a "smaller" Musky (around 28") down at Chambers two seasons ago but unfortunately I was not prepared (no net and no boga grip); but since then I have both on my boat at all times. I am thinking if I get another chance at one I am much better prepared this time around. Again; if anyone knows of this location please share or send me a PM. The paper made it seem as if this area is fairly well known (however this article from the Reading Eagle was approx. 10 years ago).

that bridge is below Sheidy ramp, has a parking lot on one side of the bridge , it is right at RT 183...look on the map I sent you. I would suspect the area you are looking for is actually right inside the Spring Creek arm just past or at the no wake markers... it drops off along a road right there.

Basser; yes, I am now familiar with the Old Church Road bridge area (can't wait to fish that area); I just took a drive up there a week ago to look around. I was thinking the Musky area may have been just a little further down around the bend (past the bridge). But when looking at the map you sent me and a topo map I found online (with the creek channel included) it looks like the area you refer to at the mouth of the Spring Creek arm has a very long and deep area along both shorelines and I am thinking your thoughts might be better than mine.

actually the area you describe..." the Musky area may have been just a little further down around the bend (past the bridge)."... is a spot I see guys fishing for musky in the spring. They make long casts toward the shoreline... not sure what they are throwing, but large jerkbaits or spinnerbaits would be my choice.

As always Basser......thank you for your input......it'll give me a place to at least try for a Musky (fingers crossed). If not; then I'll head down to the mouth of the Spring Creek arm and try that area. So many places to hit on that lake; not sure what area I'll even try first. I certainly cannot cover these areas in one trip, haha! I'll revisit my maps and look for the best seasonal area as to a place to start.
