WEEKEND GET-AWAY IN BIG BEAR, CA

This weekend we visited Big Bear, CA. Since my parents moved to Vegas a couple of years ago we have been trying to find a great fishing spot that had a complete change of scenery from Vegas but wasn't too far of a drive. Well I think we finally found it! Charlie did some research and stumbled upon Big Bear. My parents along with Pete, Julie and Cody decided to make the trip with us. We found a beautiful cabin to rent that was actually somewhat affordable with a pay for two nights, get one night free special.

We rented a pontoon boat on Friday so we could put our fishing skills to test and even convinced my mom who is deathly afraid of the water to take a cruise around this beautiful lake.

We did reel in some pretty big catches...HA! Just Kidding. Charlie caught a baby catfish, and regardless of what he says, it WAS NOT THAT BIG! We are talking a baby catfish (the picture really doesn't do it justice, it is true what they say, the camera adds five pounds, cuz this thing was tiny!)

My brother-in-law, Pete was the only other one to catch a fish, or should I say, minnow? Just kidding, but it was just a baby Bass and much smaller than Charlie's.

The town of Big Bear was very quaint. We were there during the Anuual Hot Rod show so we were able to see some pretty awesome cars on display. The kids enjoyed the candy store where they picked snow cones as a cool treat on a pretty warm day.

Regardless of the fact that we didn't have any GREAT fish stories, just a couple of chuckles to bring home all in all we had a FANTASTIC TIME!

SEE YA NEXT TIME BIG BEAR!
