Start saving !May 21, 2013 Fishing ReportsHere's the latest Lucky Bear Fishing Report: Trolling for rainbow trout has remained challenging to say the least but with determination, variety and creativity you will catch your limit within a day! Big Bear Lake has been spectacular as far as conditions and weather goes with only slight wind issues time to time this past week. You should check your gear, have fresh lines, hooks etc. and have it all in proper order and prepare to catch a trophy size bow. We caught a beautiful, 5lb 14oz bow on Lucky Bear Fishing Charters this past Saturday morning at the start of the Jim Hall Memorial May Trout Classic. It was caught trolling near Windy Point on a night crawler at the surface behind a 4" Orange Tiger Salmon Glow Spoon! Don't be afraid to try different and new things especially if the fishing is tough. We had shortened up the leader off salmon spoon from 3' down to 1' right before the lunker hit and these different combos have worked often when nothing else was. The past week we trolled 12 hours and covered the entire west end of the lake and fish were caught in all different locations. Hottest lures were Pink and SIlver UV Hum Dingers, Hot Banana Hot Glow Little Warrior, Barney Little Warrior, Hot Pink XRap, various Rainbow Rapalas and Night Crawlers. The leaded lines hit at 3-5 1/2 colors and the down riggers at 3-6, 26 and 28 feet. MANY other lures had fish on but these were our noted best during the past week. Don't be shy with your arsenal of lures or about changing up rigging. Be willing to try new things, techniques and types of lures. Even a different swivel or snap could be the trick. Also a second pole fishing license is not a bad idea when things slow down. Different speeds, willing to change locations and depths and realizing when a lure turns off you must move on no matter how much one lure may have been giving is important if you want to catch. When a HOT pattern, color or finish stops try changing the depth or speed then give in and change up to something new. One day it will be silver finish on most lures then it will switch to copper or gold. Also hammered or smooth or UV or GLOW all options are worth a try now. Stay prepared and watching for the fish to hit because each one matters more since most locals are reporting slower fishing than usual. When the trout does take your bait or lure be patient let them run if they want and enjoy reeling in instead of rushing or forcing and you should land your fish. We are at about 2-3 trout on the lines per hour for an average and an occasional 5-6 fish per hour. It's not about the fish always it's about beautiful surroundings, fun and time enjoying good company and also some relaxation so bring a friend or family member up and take turns watching the fishing poles while you wait for a LUNKER to take your line. When you work a little harder and don't give up it sometimes feels even more rewarding when you catch a fish.

| from Lucky Bear Fishing ChartersIt was tuff trolling too! We had to use over 30 lures per 3 hour trip to get 1/2 dozen rainbows Well worth trying your luck again soon as you may get a big one on powerbait.Fishing Reports - The latest from Big Bear Lake. FISHING TIP OF THE WEEK
Live Bait Must Be Lively - For example, worms must be lively to work effectively. A half dead worm is of little use to the angler. Keep your worms cool and they will stay livelier. DD.Archived Trout Fishing Reports - Lucky Bear Fishing Charters May 10, 2013 The troll is still tough for rainbow trout on Big Bear Lake, however, the good news is with time and a variety of lures and bait you can find them and get them to bite. We spent 16 hours of the past week on the lake and found that quite a variety of pink or purple or combination of pink/purple are working. Lures of the week are Purple Perch/Silver and Barney/Silver Little Warriors, Dark Purple Frog/Copper Scorpian Stinger, Purple Hot Head Wee Dick Nite and Hot Pink Xrap all brought multiple trout to the lines. Spoons at 4.5 to 5 colors on the leaded lines and 6 and 23-27 feet on the down riggers. The Xrap was flat lined and 1/2 dozen nice size hold overs were caught on the surface. We moved from one trout in an hour to THREE per hour on the lines which is a big improvement from our first week out. Guys and gals get out your pink and purple lures and give them all a try! Many other pink and purple lures were hit we are only mentioning the hottest patterns. All our fish caught were on the east end near Lagunita Lodge on the weekend and then Grays Landing and Trout Alley during the weekdays. Last weeks hot spot near Papoose Bay never produced a hit at all this week! The quality of the trout is incredible. Good size and hard fighters at about 2-2.5 lbs so far. Got to luv the rainbow trout for making us use our brains and work to find them. The scenery has been spectacular and weather a little chilly. Go to Big Bear Sporting Goods for gear/tackle/bait. Make sure to check out and try the Ballistic Bait and Little Warriors they stocked this past week.

Just use this link for your special offersBig Bear Lake Marketing Association Fish Report: Archived Reports - May 1, 2013 Trout fishing is back to the spring norm and will continue into June with the same dough baits, needle fish, and rapalas working every time. The magic trick to catching is to go fishing. Slip sinker rigs from shore and trollers are doing very well. Fish are kinda hanging center Lake from Windy to Juniper Point. Bass fishing is great everywhere on spinner baits and jigs. My buddy, the other 'Big Mike' Madden caught and released what would have been the new Lake record bass this past week. I love the smoke colors gitz-it tube baits, but I know that these bass number one forage is crayfish, so that is my two cents. Crappie fishing is WIDE OPEN!!!!! on mini jigs at the docks and rocks. I still say white is the color but ten fisher-people, ten different answers. The worm on a hook trick is always the dollar for dollar most efficient form of entertainment for the kids when pan-fish fishing and guess what? It is all about the kids. We just put in another large stocking of bluegill and we are seeing a lot of action around the shallows again with these fish. A worm or mini jig is always a good presentation. Also a guaranteed lake record was spotted in the batch for you trophy folks. Catfish reports are slow coming in but it is time to put out smelly stuff. Summer comes real soon. Carp boys come on down because you are the next contestant. Carp are showing on the surface - still no spawn activity but when the sun is high the carp are floating up to bask.

Big Bear Lake fishing experiences, year after year after year. Thank you. www.luckybearfishing.com The Municipal Water District has a goal to reestablish the bluegill population on Big Bear Lake and up until now we have seen little progress, however the first report of some slabs showing up was quite encouraging. Mini jigs are always a good bait to see if they are in the neighborhood and the secret worm on a hook trick is a no brainer. Crappie: will show in big numbers soon; a couple here and there are reported but it will pop any minute and go postal. It is a pretty short lived frenzy but it is truly a frenzy. Catfish: this would be a great time to see if can snatch a catfish on some cut mackerel or shrimp or stink bait or hot dog or cheese bait or secret dough bait or get it anything that smells a little or a lot! Some cats are showing this spring already and this is quite early as water temps are up and they seem to be moving and looking to feed. Bass: fisherman are surprisingly happy with the early start to some pretty darn good bass showing the spring with spinner baits and jigs being the bait of choice. Always a crawdad looking thing is a good choice because that is prime forage for these big mouths. Shore fishing: The top areas are still along the north shore from Stanfield to Windy Point, and a lot of fish are still stacked up where water is flowing into the lake.
Trollers: mostly working on three to four colors of leadcore and Needlefish or Buoyants with the best action in the east end. Water temperature has been uniform at 47 degrees. The bass bite has been improving with both smallmouth and largemouth showing in fair numbers around docks, rocky areas, and other shoreline structures. The May Trout Classic will be held May 19-20, and there will be a $5,000 tagged trout this season. Applications for entry are available now and only the first 500 entries will be accepted. Cost is $65 per person and all money will go toward the cast payout for the top nine biggest trout or into a fund to plant the lake with more rainbow trout, including trophy fish.

The 2013 Spring crappie fishing has been epic this season which means next year we will see some slab daddies showing up. The mini jigs and worms seem to make it happen all summer long.
A wonderful old time Big Bear fisherman told me recently that the
fishing is the best it has ever been in his time fishing in Big Bear.I took that as a complement and it made me feel real good about our Lake. The same day an hour later I got a nasty-gram that said that fishing has never been worse and I should learn how to do my job. So what I learned is that we should all be flexible in our approach to catching fish and what worked yesterday may not work today. So go deeper, get shallower, change baits, and find the magic for that day and you will put up better numbers consistently. Catfish are screaming out of the water at the east end of the Lake. I stopped at the marsh the other night late to see what all the fisher people were doing up late at night. CATCHING beautiful catfish, that is what they were doing. Go east and throw out that stinky-whatever and get in on the catfish frenzy. Nice Big Bear Lake large channel cats and numerous bullheads are being caught in the warmer shallows. Big Bear Spring is for catching trout. This year has been a great one and keeps on going strong.(read the fish report above for fishing and boating in Big Bear)

Big Bear Lake Fishing Report from the Big Bear Lake Marketing Association:
2013
BEST FRESHWATER FISHING and BOATING IN CALIFORNIA
Big Bear Lake Marketing Association news release:
Big trout are being reeled in on Big Bear Lake
as the 2013 fishing season gets even better...
Shore anglers along the North Shore from the dam to Juniper Pt. are doing well fishing off the bottom with a sliding egg sinker, short leader (12-18 inches) and PowerBait and/or nightcrawler pitched 10 to 20 feet from the shore. Those trolling on the surface or with leadcore form 1.5 to 2.5 colors are seeing action with the trout.
Located in the heart of the San Bernardino Mountains, Big Bear Lake offers some of the best early- and late-season trout fishing in Southern California. Summer still produces some fast and furious trout fishing but also throws three- to five-pound bass into the mix. Big Bear Lake also has numerous areas distinguished for their grassy shorelines, lily pads, submerged logs, and other fish-attracting structures favored by the lake's bass population. The walking or wading angler can easily access these spots, and a well-presented leech pattern or surface popper will often result in a jolting strike. Fishing and boating in Big Bear Types of Fish: Trout, bass, catfish, crappie, and bluegill in this huge 3000 acre lake.
