Ogascanan 8/4-8/10

[TeamEsox]

Hi all,
Sorry for the late report but here goes!
My dad and I arrived at Ogascanan Sunday, 8/10 around 11am or so.  The road going in wasn't great but not awful. We set up camp at the "point cabin" near the lodge and headed out.  Windy evening, one walleye.  Surface temp 81 degrees F!
Monday morning was pretty calm so we ran up to the Ferguson Bay Area.  We usually do good there, but the warm water made things tricky.  We did get 2 slot walleyes and one short, along with 5-6 pike too.  Monday evening was spent mostly jigging down south on our favorite shoal and the eyes were all over it.  10 walleye (7 slots, one over slot) were released. 
Tuesday we bought the ticket and took the ride to Taylor bay.  Water temp was 76 up there.  6 pike and 3 nice slot walleye released.  The rest of the week was mostly like this.  We caught walleye in 7 to 34 feet of water throughout the week which was a little odd we thought, seeing them scattered. Pike were mostly small no matter how deep we fished.  The hot water made casting baits tough beyond early am since fish were pushed down so far.
 We hit Taylor again as well as our Ferguson stretch a few more times
And caught a few here and there till Saturday.  86 fish total (one sucker, 8 yellow perch factored into the final count, biggest walleye 24", biggest pike 28") so it wasn't bad my any means.  Guys there a week before us said they had 7 fish for the whole week.  That summer heat can be a killer!

Always good to read a report no matter when it comes out. Glad you had a good trip.
