Gotta have something to give that Coors some flavor. I have to admit though it has happened on my boat before. Just not with Colorado spring water. Nice box of fish
I carry 2 ice chests but I know peeps that carry 1 cooler and both drinks and fish go in the same box. Kinda like eating a piece of summer sausage cut with your pocket knife that has done it all. I’ll be fine. [emoji846]
I never really thought about it until recently, but for, I don't know, at least 30 years, everything went in the same box, fish, drinks, sandwiches, crackers, chips, you name it, etc.. lol
The main reason I changed was when I switched to primarily offshore fishing about 10 years ago, aside from a saltwater slurry freezing drinks, fish be tearing stuff up lol
On the guided trip i went on with J. Watkins I saw that he had an ice water mix in the live well where he kept the fish & I also just saw a youtube video from a guy that went with Captain Aubrey Black and they had put the fish in a yeti bag with ice and water as well. im going to try it next time out.
If you put them in an ice and water mix, make sure you put salt in that water. Otherwise, you’re just soaking saltwater fish in freshwater, which is not optimal for meat quality.
My dad never had two coolers. Like others said, everything in one ice chest. Ice, beer, food, fish, Doctor Pepper, water. Well not water, there was no bottled water back in the day. He drank beer to stay hydrated and I drank DP. I never knew you did not keep everything that way until I went fishing with others as a young teenager.
I have two. Beer, food, water, DP in one. Fish get their own.
that tells me there's more drinking than fishing. i guess if you only catch a few fish a day you're good. the beer would get buried to the point of no return in my fish cooler. i don't drink beer very often but when i do it corona.
Growing up we had one ice chest. The ice was frozen water in milk jugs. As the ice melted we drank it. We had water in extra milk jugs.
