Probably could have cleaned them in the time its taking to post. That said, I often keep fish from Friday to Sunday then clean at once. A few times from Thursday. No problem. I don't drain the water though...a slurry keeps them super cold.

If iced properly and drained daily, they will last at least 7-10 days.


Am I doing it wrong?

Deer meat should be drained. I can't see an upside to draining whole fish. They live in the stuff.

I agree, if only I was anywhere near them. I actually had to leave early from fishing to go to the hospital and haven't been home since.

I was told that it's not "wrong" to keep them in water but the fresh water from the ice will somehow "dilute" the fish so the meat doesn't stay as fresh tasting. Won't hurt you in any way though. This was from an old salt at Bridgeside, not sure if it's backed scientifically.
