I learned a few things and used those things to catch my 1st Bass

Arrived at Big Bear Lake on Friday 5-12-17 and will departed on Friday 5-19-17,
Morning temps varied from 28 deg to 30 deg.
Winds varied 0 - 20 mpg, 80% of the time the wind blew from the west to the east.
The water clarity was maybe 3-4 feet and a murky green.
Worms on the drop shot seemed to get the most of the attention.

I hired a bass fishing guide w/ boat "Big Bear Charter"- Arron, we fished BBL for approx 6-hrs for one grab that got away.

On Sunday I float tube fished Boulder Bay for approx 5-hrs in the evening for nada.

On Monday 5-15-2017, I went back out with my bass fishing guide Arron, we fished BBL for 4-hrs on his bass boat for (2) LMB and (2) SMB.

I landed my 1st LMB and it weighed 4-lbs 13-oz!
I'm so stoked!! And (2) SMB ta-boot! YAHOO!

I want to thank each of you guys for your offered up suggestions for fishing the FW; on my Bass adventure, while at Big Bear Lake.

Right on SP Dan looks like a great adventure, congrats on your first LMB and SMB. Now that you have this new found knowledge will we see you on the freshwater lakes more.

Way to go SP Dan

Dang Dan,
First bucket mouth goes just under 5 pounds!!
You are going to hunt for a while to land a few more like that.
How do you compare the spotted Bay Bass fight to the freshwater brothers?

Well done Dan. Congrats on a really nice fish.
