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.

gutted fish wil keep for a long time packed in ice.

In the old days, (when my grandfather wsa a commercial fisherman), fresh fish would be caught offshore, packed in ice and brought in whenever they filled up the holds. could have been 3-4 weeks.

==================

This and I would definitely make sure you drain the water out. Fish will hold up really well for extended periods of time if kept cold and 'dry'. Don't let them sit in water. I would suggest bringing zip lock type bags to seal the fish up and keep them dry while under the ice.

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