Ah yeah i meant frozen water bottles when I mentioned ice blocks, my bad.
Ill give it another go in the insulated fish bag now rather than the zipperless esky I had before...
Cheers

Use the water from the bay. Salt water is slower to thaw than fresh

Or just throw a few spoons of table salt in the bottle as you're filling it. It'll dissolve readily enough.

Salt actually lowers the freezing point while reducing the time it takes to thaw out, so it makes your esky colder but for a shorter period.

100g of salt in a liter of water will lower the freezing point to roughly -6C.

Yeah I was just thinking about filling up with sea water just today. Maybe adding salt might be easier.
Ill see how it goes.
Cheers lads.

A Glass BBQ on the boat keeps the energy up for a weeks fishing.

Ripping a cone out of a juvenile mako with “baby shark” playing in the background usually does it for me

the Sharkbong was funny af

(yes, I know it's not actually a bong)

That would put you to sleep rather than extra alert for a bite…
