Add some salt (sea or Kosher) to the water actually makes it colder!

If your purpose is to keep your fish cold ... a few of those fishing programs down in the Florida Keys advocate adding sea water to the ice as they say it's the best way to keep the fish chilled for a long time.

If you have fish in it & are going to move them within a reasonable time . IMO make a slush by adding saltwater .

Also IMO if you going to hold them >>>> 2 days .... pack in ice .......I always have enough ice to leave the drain open . I don,t want them in fresh cold water .

If its just ice ..I always leave it open .

Right now my cooler is filled to the brim with large ice chips //////////super to dig a cup into in this hot weather
