Big Pine resort question for Paul


Recommended Posts

Paul, do you know the name of the resort right on the sand beach by that big inside turn you showed us last year (right next to the big point down from Big Pine Resort)??

Gotta love my explanations, eh!!! Hope you know where I'm talking about. Sunshine was bought out & the new pricing went up a BUNCH.

Hope winter is treating you well. Soft water soon!!!!!

See ya, Dave

Could it be sunset beach resort? Thinkin off the top of my head here. 346-4922
I'm going to be staying at regenbue haven resort on big pine the week of june 15th through the 22nd. This is going to be weird, not having to commute! lolol Their number is 346-2488 its a small resort but the location and beach is nice. Their up on the northwest end of the lake. I just got off big pine tonite, was fishing on the clam bed and that big inside turn but up on top, tons of little walleyes, going to be good fishing in a couple years when these guys grow up! When you coming up? Who bought sunshine? I didnt hear about that... Paul

It could be Sunset Beach, I really don't have any idea. I was thinking it may have been Regnbue, but it doesn't sound like it from what you are saying. It just looks like there is a small resort right up in that "cove", but we never figured out what it was.
Not sure when we're coming up yet. Mom and Dad are going to Star for a week starting June 1 & I may bring the boys up for a long weekend. We'll probably come back up sometime late June or July (just Dad & I), but nothing scheduled yet. The big family adventure at Big Pine is early August. I've got a couple questions on the July one, so I'll drop you an E-mail..

Sunshine was bought by Steve and Sherri Halstensgaard (apparently they've had a trailer there for about 7 years). They own the sailboat that is always anchored in front of the resort. Sound like nice folks, but the prices did go up big time. I won't cancel the trip, but thought I would do some last minute shopping before sending my deposit.

Talk to ya later. Work has pretty much had me by the tail all winter, so not much 'puter time.. Start feeding those little eyes on BP some steriods, cause I'm comin'!!!!

Thats good news! Steve and Sherri are great folks. They have been at sunshine resort as seasonals for ages and know how to have fun! I know they always provided a couple hundred dollars worth of fireworks on the 4th for everyone to enjoy.. I imagine they payed a pretty penny for the place so a rate increase was probably overdue. Hes a good buisnessman and I hope he makes a go of it! I hear ya on the work issue. I'm ready for a day off myself! Paul

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
