What are you going to be using? Sleds, wheelers, small car, pulling? What size portable will you be in? May help to narrow down suggestions from there.

My experience with resorts are they supply the shelter, bait, heat, drill holes,TP and tiolet, ice scoop, and some supply rods. With that, I've only used their shelter, bait, and heat...and maybe a few squares of TP.

I'd bring at least 3 rod and reel combos, two tip-ups, fake baits, flasher, and my typical ice tackle box, camera, and tape measure. I'd dress in full layers and take off as needed. Sneak a roll of TP in there as well just in case. Ice skimmer not bad idea. Food and drinks a must.

As for "carry on our person", not sure what that means but I've had to make two-three trips back to the bus before for supplies. We usually bring a grill and "plenty" of drinks." If it fits-you can take it!

Have a great time!

When I've had resorts bring me out on LOW, I've brought along a big rod bag.

I pack it with 2 rods for deadsticking (or bobber fishing if that's what you'd rather do), 3-4 jigging rods (I like to have them pre-tied with my favorite baits), my small tackle boxes, leatherman tool, forceps, folding rod holders, camera, neck lanyard with glow light and leatherman micro, etc.

I bring a flasher. Marcum for me, I like to be able to tune out the interference from the other flashers. Sorry about your luck if you have a Vex

I wear comfortable boots, a hooded sweatshirt, and a comfortable jacket. Usually not bibs unless we know we'll be fishing outside.

All the guys in the house plan ahead together regarding food and beverages. We frequently bring a really tiny portable backpacking stove and a pot we can use to boil brats. Other food to go with them and bottled water to boil them in. And some beverages. And ice cubes and cups if mixed drinks are your thing. With 4 guys in a house we usually bring along 1 small softside cooler and/or 1 small backpack with the food and drinks.

If the weather is nice enough to hole hop you can bring an auger and ice scoop, although when I've been there it's been too cold and/or too crowded to mess around with an auger in the bombers.

A fish tape is a good idea too, although all of the resort houses I've fished in have had one on the wall.

What resort are you going with?

[blackdog1101]

It may be a good idea to call the resort to ask what you should bring. That way you won't have any last minute surprises.

IMO.... bring out lowered expectations of ease and comfort. You only have less than 8 hours to fish and with the price of the package, would spend that time doing just that. Simple food/drinks, pre rigged rods, a small "money" tackle selection, electronics for sure, maybe an auger and slusher if above low teens...amazing what 50 ft can do sometimes.
