Always click bait with amazon links, same on THT too
I’m very curious what the motivation is with the Amazon links, always have been. Is this to uphold some sponsorship or something? Like the click-bait bull dolphin and peanut video that didn’t show a thing…what’s the motivation here? If OP is making money from this, shouldn’t he be a paying sponsor?

I have tried about everything and the best way is to go to Walmart and buy the thick rubber balloons 72/count for 3.00
I fill them up to the size of a 10-12 lb turkey and freeze them and they do not leak. last a few days if you don’t bust them up, takes about 3 days to freeze solid.
Got to be getting paid, every time the OP post something it has “click bait”

I use Blue Bunny plastic ice cream containers. 1/2 gallon blocks and reuseble. Gallon milk jugs are good too, bust them up with a hammer then cut them open. Learned that one from Vinman.

And what are you doing with so many of those ice cream containers?

A RUBBER bucket not a PLASTIC bucket. A rubber bucket will not crack when the ice expands and you hammer it to break it up. A plastic bucket will crack and break.

Well duh, I’m eating the ice cream so we’ll have containers to make ice out of. It’s a sacrifice but someone has to do it.

Those big blocks of ice will beat the **** out of a forward fish box.
The big blocks of ice break up quickly with a sharp screw driver

As well as any product in the box.
Venice Marina has a small room an ice machine dumps into.
Kept very cold.
Ya buy ice by the cart full.
A good insulated box will cause the load to ‘firm-up’ pretty good. Nice to have a small bat or an aluminum/stainless shovel to bust it up once ya land something worth keeping.
Usually added salt water to make a slush, effective in cooling down good eating meat.
Those stand alone, coin operated ice machines ya see need to drop their storage temperature - Seems that it’s not far off from freezing point. Summer time ambient air/sea/fish temps. waste it away quickly.
If ya have a big mt chest @ home, load up on bags from those machines the day before going out. Set them into the chest to drop the temp way down. Just be careful to place them in a way that they will not firm up and jam into the chest.
You are gonna pay for ice in one way or another. But it is cheap considering the function it performs.
I just bought a used Hoshisinki ice machine. It’ll make 150# or so a day. Bag it and put it in a big chest freezer. 50# bag runs me about $0,63 and most of that cost is the bag. Between the cooler in the truck, the house, gatherings and the boat, it’s about paid for itself already.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.
