Lucky Bear Fishing Charters

Awesome! What a relaxing day on the water. Trisha & Mike are a great guide couple. I call Trish the fish whisperer. We were landing a trout while Trish was hooking another. Brilliant. Exceeded my expectations in every regard. Will defiantly be joining them on the lake in the future! I think we brought in 10 – 11 fish in 3 hours! What a fun afternoon! So happy! Call n book your trip today :)

I decided to take the family up to Big Bear Lake this year for our annual summer vacation. The highlight of our trip was going to be the fishing since the kids had never done that before. Trish and Mike from Lucky Bear Fishing Charters easily exceeded our expectations and then some.
Trish and Mike are a husband and wife team that were super duper friendly and easy to get along with. We booked a 3hr trip during the middle of the week in July with them. We caught 8 fish and the best thing about it was that everyone in our party of 7 (3 kids ages 10, 10, and 5 and 4 adults, 2 of which were over 65 yrs of age) caught a fish! They were extremely patient with all of us and were very supportive whenever the BIG one would get away.
The pontoon boat they have is spacious and has a shaded area in case the sun gets too much. It is stocked with lots of treats and drinks which the kids liked. They even said we could bring our dog if we wanted to, which kind of surprised us.
We are already planning our next trip with them! I wish they had an online store where I could buy a T-​shirt with their logo on it.

Trisha and Mike simply are the best!!! Very experienced in what they do, will answer any questions & both are very fun and make the time fly by. Especially, when u reel in the fish.
Went fishing for my birthday yesterday and my girlfriend & I caught a total of 22 fish, thanks to Trisha & Mike!!! We released most of them of course but the experience was one of our best. It was our second time going fishing with them, our first time we caught a total of 11 fish. Both trips were very memorable & we will be going back. Thanks you guys !

Trish and Mike are excellent at what they do. I wouldnt be surprised if they’re the best
in Big Bear.
It was a fun, relaxing and wonderful experience.
Will do it again as soon as I get some time off.
Thank you Trish and Mike!

My grandson and I fished with Mike and Trish on 9÷28÷14. What a great time. It was cold and windy and fishing was slow, but we were able to still land 4 trout. We lost a couple. This is a first class operation, and I recommend they to everyone.

We have gone on several trips with lucky bear now. My children love the time they have on the charter and Mike and Trish do a great job of helping them fish and making sure they are successful. We would recommend them to anyone.

Another year, another fantastic fishing trip w/​Mike and Trish!
We may not have caught as many fish this year, but we caught enough and the snacks and drinks keep the kids busy in between bites. We caught a huge trout that Mike said probably weighed between 2 and 2 ½ pounds. We froze that one to take home and ate the two smaller ones we kept for dinner. The kids loved eating the fresh fish we caught from the lake.
Thanks Mike and Trish. We had a great time again!

If you are looking for a wonderful time on the lake, look no further! Mike and Trish are superb Captains who ensure that not only are you catching fish, but that you are relaxing, getting entertainment/​information if you’d like it and filling your bellies too! We try to go out and fish with them once a season and are never disappointed! Hats off to these two who put their hearts and souls in to their work! And thank you for being fabulous fisher-​people ;)

Thank you Trish and Mike for taking me on the best fishing trip of my life (so far)! They took me to some great spots and made the day super fun. By the end of my trip I caught my limit and Mike even filleted the trout for me.

Caught 7, 3 more jumped off the line. good time for kids and inexperienced wife. Theses guys know what they are doing. Plenty of snacks and drinks provided, who recommend theses guys anytime.

Every review of Lucky Bear Fishing Charters are 5 stars enough said! Mike and Trish are just great people and really enjoy what they do, and they know the lake and how to catch trout.
Just book your trip and enjoy.

We went on a three hour fishing charter with Mike and Trish yesterday during our stay in BBL. My wife and I along with our four kids (15, 12, 8 and 3) had the best time fishing in the afternoon. The weather was great and the fishing was even better. Mike and Trish worked the entire time to ensure we had a great day of fishing. We caught 9 rainbows in the three hours and a great time was had by all… including the 15 year old :). I/​we would highly recommend Lucky Bear to anyone considering a day of fishing on the lake. A family that rented a boat and decided to try their luck on their own came back and didn’t even get a bite. Plenty of snacks and soft drinks were there for us and the kids and after we docked Mike cleaned all of the fish we caught. Awesome… thanks again Mike and Trish!!! Pete, Lisa, PJ, Ellie, Thomas and Sofia.

My family and I saw reviews on Unilocal and booked a lucky open spot with Trish and Mike! They kept in great communication both via email and by phone before our trip. My two boys (7 months and 7 years) had the time of their lives! They even had safety gear for the baby!
We caught plenty if fish in the morning to have for dinner tonight and mike cleaned and iced the rainbows for us! My son caught two fish in our first 15 mins!
The entire three hours we had 6 rods rotating baits and lures. Watching Trish and Mike was like watching a ballet! They compliment one another’s skills very well. One would be setting hooks the other trilling and in a moments notice they would switch and a fish would be on! The positive re enforcement and coaching as my little one reeled in his first trout made every penny worth while!
Best charter we have ever booked! See you next year guys!

We took our two boys, 10 and 13 yrs old, for a fishing trip with Trish and Mike. These two really know how to locate the fish… they are serious fishers! They do their best to make sure you get your kiddos or adults fishing to their best… they were great encouragers to the boys as they reeled in their fish. We caught 7 fish, and we threw one back since it was a little small, and we caught a carpe fish, which isn’t edible, so we threw him back as well. We took home 5 fish. As soon as we got home we cooked the biggest fish and it fed all 4 of us — it was around 3 lbs. We had a really nice time — it was a beautiful day on the lake. I highly recommend the Lucky Bear Charter.

Trish and Mike get it! Not only do they know how to find the fish, they know how to provide a relaxing and fun experience. My girlfriend and I are novices and just looking for a nice time on the lake catching some fish and some rays. Trish and Mike provided the perfect platform. Bring some sunblock and a good attitude and Trish and Mike do the rest. Highly recommended!

Excellent! We chartered a boat for 3 adults and 4 children (ages 2 — 10). Mike and Trish were awesome. These two worked their tails off the entire 3 hours. Being novices, we really appreciated their experience and willingness to do EVERYTHING! They were such a good team. They offered a nice variety of snacks and drinks as well. I would highly recommend this company!

Amazing! We tried this fishing charter because of the high ratings on Unilocal!And we’re not disappointed. Fantastic for a family outing even if you have never fished before. Mike and Trisha were perfect with our children and we caught 11 Rainbow Trout which we just ate for dinner. We also gave some to the bears and eagles at the Zoo on Moonridge and they were very happy! Highly recommended!

Just finished our fresh trout dinner thanks to Mike & Trish of Lucky Bear! It was our family’s first time fishing and the girls absolutely loved it and want to go back again the next time we’re in Big Bear. Lucky Bear was a fantastic experience for us as they take care of absolutely everything from drinks, snacks, setting up the fishing, finding the fish, teaching us how to reel in the fish and then cleaning the fish and packing it up for us in ice. Highly recommend for any families looking to have an amazing fishing experience in Big Bear. Mike and Trish are awesome!

You can’t beat Lucky Bear owners, Mike and Trish, for fun, fish, accommodating all ages and levels of proficiency… a truly GREAT fishing experience on beautiful Big Bear Lake.

We worked with Mike and Trish to get us on a group charter. After reading such great reviews on Unilocal and seeing how family friendly they were, we were hopeful we made a good choice.
Our group charter turned out to be a private charter as Mr. R and the 8-​year old were the only ones on the boat! I think most places would have called us and cancelled due to minimums not being met, but Mike and Trish went ahead and the guys had a great trip.
The went around the lake 3 – 4 times and caught some 10 trout total. There were snacks available and they had a great time. We highly recommend them!
