re: Five day old bait left in ice chest.

Crawfish or shrimp heads inside the old school hubcaps in the summer were always a way to pay a buddy back.

I remember Buckskin Bill leaving an icechest full of trout fillets he was supposed to be dropping off to our church fish fry in the trunk of his car at the airport for a week. In August. Said when he got back, his car was covered with flies. Took it to every auto detailer in town, without success, finally had to sell the car.

I always store my icechests with crumpled up newspapers in them. Keeps them smelling pretty good, and it’s about all The Advocate is good for anymore.
