Nice catch. If I intend on keeping some for dinner I just throw a few bags of ice in my livewell, it's already insulated, has a drain and I can't forget it at home... I know all boats are different but it works for me.
Yeah, I never seem to remember the ice but if it's hot out, it doesn't stay long in my livewell anyway. I should have insulated it when I redid the rear casting platform.
How do you keep your beer cold?
At least warm beer won’t go to waste or make you sick or like me, keep the drinks in a sealed bag if your thinking you might keep fish.
Never much minded a little fish slime on my beer cans. Usually means I’m having a good day.
You’ll prob won’t say that after you’ve had lake trout or pike/pickerel slime man they have a distinct smell, last week that slime made the ice and water in the cooler thick like syrup.
I once used clove oil to euthanize fish on my farm (sold for taxidermy purposes) in one of my coolers I use for fishing. Will never do that again! Pretty much impossible to get rid of the Clove oil smell and I didn't want the fish I caught for consumption to taste like Clove oil! It seemed like it bonded with the plastic!
I believe that. That stuff is strong and it stinks!
