there are lots of good crappie spots in big bear,also lots of fishermen, Big Bear is a great resort, and great location,,I suspect by the 11th the crappie will be shallow if the cold front moves out by then and they dont mess with the water level too much,, you might hit it right,, this past weekend was very windy and hard to fish about anywhere!
if big bear is too crowded, and the fish are shallow go up north a few coves and try sledd creek area,,,
