I have a problem with trying to save sea worms to use next trip, I have had to throw away many coolers, I usually just take the whole cooler and dump it in the trash with bait in it.

once I had a 1/2 flat of herring left over. I can't keep bait in the house so I plugged in my camper and put the frige on, my son being the do gooder that he was saw it and unplugged it. well 2 weeks later I went in the camper to clean it up and I was meet with the worst smell. I ended up having to rip the frige out and installed a new one.
