Ogishkemuncie Lake
With no place to go, and with no set plan on what to see, we decided to play lazy again and spent a lay- over day on Ogish. Fishing was a priority and we hit the lake hard only to be somewhat skunked. We caught some bass (for eating) but didn’t get the Walleye or Northern we were jonezing for. Other than being lazy, taking naps, fishing, exploring the other sites and islands and just staring off into the distance, we did nothing. It was great.
There is one thing to mention however… if you visit the BW and you forget your fish fry oil and your Shore Lunch we discovered a novel way to eat any fish you catch. This idea is completely Gopher’s. Did you know: if you gut your fish and spear them through the mouth with a stick you can roast them over the fire like marshmallows? I would not have tried it if we had our oil but… IT WORKS! And it does not taste all that bad either. The skin pulls off easily and you just munch away. It is like eating corn on the cob.
