Have a friend taking his family to Big Bear Lake this weekend for some trout. Any good tips on some decent spots and what's working right now?

Thanks,

was just at big bear from monday to wednesday.
didnt get any bass but a few trout around the dam area where the floating porta potty is
from both a boat and from the shore
from the shore i was on the north side of the lake almost at the very end where the road starts to curve and go over the dam, there is a red house that is kind of standing out alone, i fished there. there is a lot of vegetation so it's better to cast before it or over it, its a lot easier to see when the sun is higher and if you stand on the higher rocks.
i was using standard setup of the sliding sinker, treble hook on light line, and the garlic chatreuse powerbait dough.
its slowed down a lot according to the people i talked to there like trolling the boats and also fishing, i caught 3 on the boat on one day and 1 from the shore the other day.
