Suggestion for a new area

[MuskieBait]

The regulations has a section on transporting fish home. They have to be dead (no live fish transport). You can either keep them whole or gutted. If the fish are fillet, you have to leave a section of skin on, at the minimum, so the species and size can be identified.

Do we really need a section to tell people to ice their fish from the fishing location to home?

I assume you don't want a fishy smell when the fish is defrosting. I don't think there is a way around it...except bag, double bag and triple bag. And even then...you could still smell it. Another option is to vacuum pack and seal. Make sure all the slime, juices and smell stays in the package.

I have never BBQ bass...only steamed, or cooked on stick over a camp fire.
