I am heading to Grand Isle Friday and I am staying until Monday. I will be bank and surf fishing with my family. If we catch fish Saturday morning but not enough to fry, could we keep them on ice until Sunday evening. I don't want to freeze them. Also any tips on catching fish down there would be appreciated.

Suck air out of ziplock and shove in ice, and I'm glad Motorboat is coming to grips with the fact he can't help you with catching fish. He can't help himself.

Yeah keeping them on ice for two days is fine. If you gut them you could keep them on ice for a week if you keep replenishing the ice.

Make sure you keep them covered in ice and ensure the melt water is drained out.
I've kept fish like this for several days, but I wouldn't want to try a whole week.

as long as you keep ice on them they will be good.
