The girls were headed out shopping this morning so Greg and I towed his boat to Moose Lake today which is SE of Antigo near Phlox. Moose Lake is small, about 113 acres and a maximum depth of about 20 ft. When we arrived there were several other boat trailers already unloaded and by the time we left there were twice as many, so for a sleepy little Wisconsin lake this place was busy!
We unloaded quickly and fished along the outside of a couple weed beds and then moved around trying different spots. It was an absolutely gorgeous fall day! The sun was bright, the wind calm and very comfortable temps. Even with a fish locator onboard and fishing both crawlers and minnows, nothing was interested in biting. I caught the only fish today which was a tiny perch!
We fished for a couple hours and as many of the other boats had left the lake we surmised it was not just us having the poor luck today! So we packed it in and loaded up the boat.
On the way back to town we stopped at Phlox WI and the Old Mill Inn and had a Bloody Mary with a Spotted Cow chaser and each of us ordered lunch.
Tomorrow Greg and I will head back up to the Post Lake dam and try our luck there again. We will return by noon and have lunch with Greg and Diane before saying our farewells. Tomorrow afternoon we will do our normal day-before-we-leave tasks and prepare to depart Friday morning for Yogi Bear Campground in Caledonia WI. There we will meet up with our daughter Michelle and her family. This will be the first time we have seen them since Christmas. Yes!!
