    “Bass fishing with Aaron was one of the best fishing days I have ever had on Big Bear Lake.  He has the best equipment and knows the best spots.  I caught a large bass my first time out.  It was great fishing and I have been fishing on the lake for over ten years.”

    “Our 3 hour charter with Matthew was awesome! He was super friendly, very knowledgeable and made it really fun for our family. Our kids had never fished before and he was so patient and helpful. He worked really hard to help make sure they caught fish! I highly recommend this company and our guide Matthew.”
