Moon Lake

Moon Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Marquette County and the useful numbers here are about 71 acres and a maximum depth of 12 feet, which gives you a decent picture of what kind of day on the water you are planning.

The lake itself

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more by putting the first hour into shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.

Fish to think about

The water-specific species list for Moon Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the first trip from getting too complicated.

Where I would put my time

For the opening trip to Moon Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, and I would check the current regulations before keeping anything.
