Too much extra weight BD.
Throw them in there with an ice pack or frozen water bottle and they keep fine for all night Then return them to the buckets in my cooler.

1 gallon plastic mayo jar with holes drilled in the bottom and top. 1/4" rope crimped around it with a snap that clips on my belt. Throw the eels in with a dozen ice cubes and you are good to go.

Ditto don't have a snap on mine for the belt which is a good idea.mine just goes over my shoulder the lid is attached the the bucket with a small shoe string so not to loss it also I put my holes on the side that way I can just tip the bucket when I feel the need to get rid of any slime.I hate the mesh bags if it's windy you have to keep dunking them they are a pain to open and shut while on a rock at least for me.

You mean the lid USUALLY attached... don't you?

Soft sided cooler with a mesh bag inside. I use old water bottles that I freeze to keep them cool. I throw the bottles away (recycle them) after each use instead of having to wash the slime off of an ice pack. I also dump out the water in them to save on weight once all of the eels are gone.

hey Bryan,

thanks for the suggestion and
for leaving off the last S,,,,,,,,,

i know that it's prolly a little anal;
however, the weight is a non-issue for me
and it does "seem" to help to preserve them
say for the next night and the night after and so on.

i've yet to try the mayo jar, piemma.
so faaaar, so gooood with the mini coolers.

Me... softsided cooler on belt... Holes burned in bottom to let slime drain. I keep them on ice and I mean ON ICE for a solid 18 hours. no problem as long as it can drain. They sit at my desk all day before heading out. Zippers fail, but they're cheap enough. I use a inside out sock as a rag. Ask shadow... it's got MOJO.
