Re: Dry Ice?
I am in agreement with the other posts. I have used Dry Ice for many trips to the Bahamas. it is not as heavy and takes up less space than Ice does. I normally Freeze most of my drinks (not beer or soda) and load them into a cooler. I wrap 10# or so of dry ice in towells and put it on top of the cooler. For my bait cooler I stuff it full of frozen bait and then lay a towell on top and dry ice on top of that followed by another towell. I keep a smaller cooler for the drinks and food I am using and of course for any Beer and Soda we may drink. I take the dry ice coolers to the room for storage while I am at my resting place. Each day I take what I need out and load the boat. I am getting 5-7 days out of the dry ice this way and I still have frozen items at the end of the week....
The key to keeping dry ice is not to let it get wet. It will melt quick if in contact with water or fish juice.
I would not think of putting my catch on dry ice. Now after it is filleted and bagged up, maybe to freeze it.
