Recommended Fish Cooler

[Yak Fish]

My soft fish cooler, which was actually really a beer bag, finally tore. Looking through the options out there, it seems like they're all more expensive than I would have thought. Anyone have a recommendation for keeping catches on ice while on the water.

Check out Engel coolers. I don't own one, but have heard good things. Reasonably priced, locking latches, and some models double as a live well.

Thanks. I took a look at the soft coolers, which look nice, but they're $100. Seems pricey to carry fish around, especially compared to the one I used for free for a couple of years.
AO Coolers seems pretty nice too. Price is coming down, but still over $60.

Not sure what your storage capability is like on your outback, but this works great in standard sized rear tank wells:

Bingo! That's what I'm looking for. I've got no problem with the logo. Thanks. For the abuse it takes, I just wanted something cheap and simple.

Blackjack beat me to it. The one I have is similar in style & function, made by Polar Bear.

Second on polar bear coolers and they're a CBKA sponsor! You could win a nice soft cooler if you come out to the tourney in Sept.

6-Pack Metro!? I expected you were catching bigger fish than that

Here's the Wegmans tote. I think I may give it a try even if it won't hold ice as long as I'd like.

Ha! I linked the wrong one. I have the 24 pack one. I've never put fish in it...just beer and soda thus far

Third on the Polar Bear coolers. They have a 2fer deal that they run at least once or twice a year. I have 3 different sizes. If you don't need 2 coolers, just go in on it with a buddy. Best coolers I've ever bought.

I use the Jackson fish cooler. It's soft sided and long enough for a rockfish up to 28 inches or so. I think I got mine for around $40. Maybe not the best insulation in the world, but how nicely it holds fish and how easily I can put it in my center hatch makes up for it. Search Jackson kayak accessories and you can see pictures and specs.
