Considering this cold weather. I caught a mess of bass on Sunday. Iced them down. Since then we haven’t come out of the 40’s. I’m sure they are frozen. Not really looking forward to going home and cleaning them today. Will they be alright until tomorrow? Usually I never let fish sit for more than a day.


Eta: fish have since been cleaned. Disregard.

At least all this week.

I have some bass and reds I caught Saturday in one of my new OB-Coolers. As of this morning the ice had not yet begun to melt. I'm gonna clean at least one for dinner, but the rest may wait till friday/saturday.

Thanks for the coolers No Colors.

I would say your good to go.

However if you don’t want to chance it I can help you get rid of them.

Pull the plug and drain all water out. Fish sitting in water long term = mushy meat.

This.

If you are worried throw some bottles of water frozen in there as well to keep cool.

They'll be fine...... tuna boats stay out for 20-30 days at a time. However, they do gut them before they put them on ice.

Not originally from thibodaux. I don’t think my buddy has fb but he’s probably around that age. If you go dt just look for the short drunk guy and that’s usually me.
