Two Men Reported Missing on Moon Lake

MOON LAKE - Officers from Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission and the Pasco Sheriff's Office search on Moon Lake for two men reported missing. The men were reportedly taking a break from doing stucco work at a job at 9252 Moon Lake Road and were kayaking on the lake when the kayak was seen capsizing and the men were seen thrashing around, by co-workers.
The men did not have permission to take the boat and had no flotation devices  according to Pasco Sheriff's spokesman Kevin Doll.
By 6:30 pm there was still no sign of the men.
"We plan to search until dark then start again tomorrow if we haven't found them," said Doll. "Some parts of the lake are very silty, others are rocky, others are grassy, so it is a typical Florida Lake that makes searching very difficult."
