It's really nice if you can find a dishpan or plastic container that forms ice that will fit in the bottom of your cooler.

We used to have a guy here locally that sold block ice, it came at 6 x 6 x 18" blocks. Those were great you could put them in the bottom of the drink cooler with cubed ice and drinks on top and they would last for days on end. I would also use them in my fish coolers on long trips.

Thanks, I had not encountered that glich before!

I used to put the ice in the bottom and fish on top. Recently, we bought a YETI and my son saw/heard that you were supposed to put the ice in, then add a small amount of water to make it slushy, and then put your fish in. Thought this was the craziest thing I had ever heard until we tried it. Long story short, this slushy mix is referred to as a "chill kill" and allows the fish to be fully submerged with cold all around it vs. laying on top of another fish. Just imagine your hand in a slushy/ice cold mix all day. At the end of the day, we add more ice and then clean fish the next day.

Like posted, just about any size/style/shape plastic container will do. I bought a few different size rectangle storage containers at an auction for a dime each, without lids. When making a few extra blocks I place the frozen container in a plastic bag and turn upside down on the table for a few. When the block is free I hear a pop, remove the container and refill. Place bag and block in the freezer without touching the ice.
