The Jim Hall Memorial May Trout Classic, got off to a great start today! Rainbow Trout from 5 to 7 pounds hit the scale on the first day of the two day event. Anglers scored the fish from boat and shore, trolling and bait fishing. Conditions were ideal with air temperatures reaching 77 degrees and the surface water temperature at 57 degrees, the fish and anglers loved the balmy day. CD-07 Rapalas and Thomas Buoyant topped the hot lures of the day. Greg Boll and I, owners of Big Bear Marina landed the current 2nd and 4th place fish in the Classic. Greg's fish weighed in at 6.81 pounds and mine was 5.21 pounds. Greg's trout hit a Rainbow Rapala, flatlined on mono, while mine took a red and gold Bouffant at two colors of leadcore.

The fishing will remain strong into June, with a lot of trophy sized fish plying the waters of Big Bear Lake. Don't miss out on the chance at one of these beautiful bows. The fish are up and down throughout the water column, so be sure to vary your depths and lure selection as well as color.

Big Bear Marina is proud to announce that we are the first OFFICIAL WEIGH STATION on Big Bear Lake. New LAKE RECORDS will be established! Bring your BIG FISH and QUALITY LIMITS to the marina for weigh-in and be eligible for monthly prizes.
