Hi Rob. Great video as always. I did hit big bear around five times this summer and caught trout on four of the trips. All of the trout I caught were at the dam on slip bobbers or lures.
Great video Rob! Thanks for posting! You sure did a lot better than I did when I was out there a few weeks back. Wow, the water at Big Bear looks putrid with all the algae this year. Don't know what day of the week you were fishing, but I don't think I've ever seen so few boats down at the dam when I was fishing there. Lucky you. Thanks for all the tips ... always appreciate your advice and rigging tips. 👍👍🤛🤛
Nice to know that you can still catch trout during a major heat wave near the Dam. Slip bobbers seem to work really well. Another good day at Big Bear Rob! Tight lines!
It really depends on how you like to fish. Some really love fishing just the jigs and some love the minnows. I fish them all as at certain lakes at certain times the trout get hot on the mini jigs instead of the minnows and vice versa. If you are just starting out I’d get the mini jig kit 🤘
It's cool to see hope still remains for the "heat bite" up there. 🙂👍 Just curious (i may have missed the info at the beginning of this🤦♂️), did you miss the algie bloom they closed the lake for recently?🤔 Anutha great vid man...lovin em my friend. Peace ✌😎
Thanks bro, I appreciate it. As far as I know the lake has been open all summer. That algae is in all the lakes and blooms every summer it just depends if it blooms enough to be unhealthful. It doesn’t harm the fish but can get you sick if you ingest it. If you eat fish where the algae is blooming just make sure you cook it thoroughly and you’ll be fine 🤘
Hey bud, hope you are well. Wanted to reach out and let you know that your post was helpful. I was hoping you can recommend a spot where I can take my family to in about a week or two for fishing. We usually go out in November by the observatory. But since it’s going to be middle of July, not really sure where it is good to fish during the summer. Your help will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
There is a shocking amount of water in the lake now. There isnt any shore available at the observatory as its underwater now haha. With all that water the hot fishing spots are all gonna change. That said red house beach and by the dam is always a good summertime bet. Additionally this is gonna be a mild sumner so the fish will probably hang out at in the east and the west all summer. Best advice or what I would do is try different spots all over the lake until you find something. Fish in the morning then do other family activities during the afternoon and then fish for a couple hours before sunset. The fish usually dont bite well during the middle of the day. If you have any more questions just let me know 🤘
Thank you so much for letting me know. I appreciate the info. Just one less thing, we might be renting a cabin near Gilmer point or Lagonita Lodge. Do you think I’ll have any luck off of shore. The cabins are lakefront.
Another great, informative video. But I have a question on use of braid for minijigging. I see you use both 4 and 5 lb braid. I want to use braid for the first time. Can't decide on 4, 5 or 6 lb Phenix. I have always used 2 lb p-line. Is there a casting advantage using braid? Again, love all your videos.
Thanks Dennis. The 4lb is easily my favorite. Some things to remember, braid has a bit of a break in period. Your first few casts arent going to be great but once it breaks in the casting is amazing. One of the drawbacks of braid is its very light and susceptible to the wind so you really need to pay attention or you can get tangles and wind knots. This can be a huge pain in the ass but the cast ability and sensitivity make it worth it to me
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors Thanks for the reply. I value your info highly. Like your style of instructing. Looks like I will be entering the braided line game. Hope I can see enough to tie knots. Will be in Mammoth next week. Been using your discount code for GSF minijigs and minnows. Thanks again for your videos and excellent content.
Starting to watch your videos and they’re great 👌 but I just don’t like the music. I don’t think that much music is necessary during a vid but either way great content and thanks for the tips 👍
Thanks Jerry I appreciate the honest feedback. Im always looking for ways I can improve the content. Funny thing is that the majority of comments I get and viewers I meet seem to really like the music so thats the main reason its in there. Alot of my “How To” videos have very little to no music if that helps 🤘
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors yeah sorry don’t mean to sound negative at all just I personally love to hear someone reel a fish in especially if that fish is pulling drag so for me music in that moment is overkill. But either way great and informative videos 👍
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors It's negative, selfish & disrespectful Jerry. The video creator knows that background music is used in 99% of professional videos because the majority of people prefer it. That fact isn't gonna change because your opinion differs. Be thankful that He has enough respect for the viewer to select an appropriate Western Genre that is universally un-offensive & suitable for all viewers. (w/1 exception, lol ) Personally, I'm extremely grateful every time I'm not trying to be forced to hear Rap Music in a video. But I get it, It's not all about me. Attempting to influence others into making it more about me would be utterly ridiculous and a huge waste of everybody's time. And now look, negativity has sparked even more negativity...now I'm a dick. God Bless & Help us all....and Thank Jesus for the GSF'rs!!

Hi Rob. Great video as always. I did hit big bear five times this summer and caught trout on four of the trips by the dam mostly on slip bobber‘s.
Right on! Thats great to hear. Catching trout at Big Bear during the summer months isn’t easy, well done 🤘

Yeah that algae blooms like that every summer. I was out there on a Tuesday I believe
It was hot but its got the fish nice and active. Good trout. Great video! Well done.
Great day, even with the heat!! Really like Big Bear for trout!! Nice video!! Thanks
Thanks Lee 🤘
Nice to know that you can still catch trout during a major heat wave near the Dam. Slip bobbers seem to work really well. Another good day at Big Bear Rob! Tight lines!
Thanks Paul. Those slipbobbers are essential at Big Bear
Hey Rob thanks for sharing your videos and experience with us. I also want to thank you for the discount with buying fishing tackle.
🙌🏻👉🏻🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👍🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻
No worries at all. Just hoping you get more trout to the net 🤘
Thats a sweet day of fishing brotha..Gonna have to play hookie from work and get up there soon....🤘🤪
Definitely. There are a ton of trout in there they just need to cool off a bit 🤘
Awesome video. Hey i was on the golden state fishing site which starter kit for jigs is the best one..

Right on man crazy action on a hooot day 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks brother 🤘 just praying fall temps hit soon 🙏
Good stuff 🤙🏻🇺🇸 thank you
Good job men nice fishing 🎣
Nice video bro..I see the waters still slimey didn't affect you catching fish.
No, I think its solely the heat slowin them down. The wind would kick up and blow alot of that algae out. The water is fairly clear under the algae 🤘
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors ok gotcha...thanks
Made sweater! yeah buddy
Love the video. Is there parking by the dam?
Yes there are places to park on either side of the dam but not alot so get there early on the weekends
Great vid buddy as always
Thanks bro 🤘

@@mikea8852 absolutely. If you can fish those areas Id definitely give it a try
Hello. ❓Can you fish 2 pole @ Big Bear Lake...can't find any info. In the regulations..TY
Yes you can as long as you have the 2 pole validation on your California fishing license.

Is your celilo rod an 8'?
Its actually an 8’ 6”. I use it primarily for slipbobbers 🤘
What happened to lake Gregory you don't go fishing no more
I still love Gregory just haven’t made it out there recently. I will definitely be back out there soon 🤘
💯🔥💙👍
Bro, I wasn't expecting to see @THEBEARDEDTROUTSMAN on the silver screen...😂 I hope to see you out there soon bro. We got a lot of fish to catch 🦾🤙👊💯
Haha more to come brother 🤘
