As stated in another thread, I went fishing today for the first time in about 8 months (long story) which reminded me to share something that others may not know about. To get the best taste, it's often recommended that you bleed and ice the fish right away. But a decent sized cooler takes 5 or 6 bags of ice to fill, which adds up fairly quick at nearly $1 a bag. But I know where to get ice for free, and nearly anywhere. The answer is... McDonalds! Just take in your cooler, and they'll fill it with ice for you. I have a cooler on wheels, and I just wheel it right in the door, order a couple of hamburgers, and have them fill it for me while I eat. Better tasting fish, and more money to spend on gear! Score!
