headed to big bear lake - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Like east said, trolling a small rapala(anything that dives) is great for the rainbow trout, try trolling from the dam towards the observatory, people call it the channel. Work some different heights cause its cold and foggy up here right now and should be tonight as well and then will get into the 50's before the weekend so they might move a bit from the temp changes. Also drifting meal worms without a weight on small test works great when they're hitting off the top, just make sure you set your drag real light. Small plastic jigs(1/8 oz) work great along the docks in boulder bay for crappie, bluegill and small bass. Shoreline catfishing is good around the dam and by the observatory. Trout hit powerbait all along the northshore from the dam to grout bay, and also from the stanfield cutoff if the wind isnt too bad. Good luck and bring something warm if your camping, let us know how it goes.

NOt sure if you guys know there is an OHV area up there very close to the lake and easy to get to. It'll be an awesome trip for your family. Fishing + riding. If you like to know where I can point you that way. Where are you guys camping at? I"ll ride around the lake and see if you guys are out there and say hi. Good luck and have fun man.
