Oldham Outing! Fishing Report

Decided to take my new car topper to Oldham today in the afternoon with the gf, what a great day it turned out to be. We dropped in the water and rowed across the lake over to two big islands, starting throwing crankbaits, no to avail. We moved over to the various weed beds and lily pad stretches on the western shore; where we switched over to top water. I put on a 4 inch Perch pattern surface popper and my gf put on a 3 inch Silver/Blue popper, it took a bit of time but we eventually got into some fish. A couple of dinks not worth writing home about, and then we started getting into some bigger fish closer to the pads in one the northwest coves. I hooked up on small half pounder, and a nice 2 pounder, she caught another dink, and sadly lost 2 nice Bass, but made up for it with the 3 pounder she landed about 20 minutes later. We switched from Topwater to small Crappie crank baits to see if we could get some slab action, but caught nothing but Perch on them lol. All in all it was a nice little 5 hour outing. We got out just in time, as we were informed by locals that the pond is closing tomorrow for a while for weed treatment by the town. Good day!
