Work and Fishing help

Well now,

I'm going to be doing 6 day work weeks 9am-9pm with only Sunday off. However there is an unnecessarily long break in between those hours (about 2 - 2.5). My job is an hour away from home and but it is close to 2 beaches. I'm hoping to get time to fish during that break if possible.

Any suggestions from those who have pulled this off? My main issue is leaving the tackle in the truck without getting rinsed (attracting all the bugs along with the waders (lot of bugs) and if I get lucky and hook into some fish, any tricks on getting the fish smell off besides washing my skin off? I love the smell of fish but I doubt the patients do.

Also, god forbid I foul hook a bass or blue and it dies with nobody around to give it away to, I'm not too confident my cooler can keep that fish without some serious ice even if I fillet it (no fridge at my job and it would be a good 6 hours before I could get it home).

My idea would be to travel light (typically when I go fishing I always go to war, but in this instance I'd figure just keep a bucktail, swimmer, and popper to cover all 3 water columns).

How have you guys done it?
