fish cooler bag

Hi all just wondering if anyone is using a fish cooler bag instead of an esky and what are your thoughts ? looking at getting one to sit in the kill tank to save a bit of deck room.

Madfish Bags

Madfish Bags are what you need, best quality materials and so much better than anything else on the market.  Designed in Perth for WA conditions and you can get them online, through Bluewater and Complete Angler too.

 

I have three now, one of each size and they are briliant

 

Cheers Southy

Madfish thumbs up

I have the 3 sizes too and they are great. Last trip back from Exmouth I had YFT and Mahi in a medium bag with 2 bags of ice and still had heaps of ice on the fish 2 days later when back in Perth. You will be happy with them.

Cheers

Got a Madfish bag at the boat show last year. http://fishwrecked.com/image/boat-show-today

Have 2 now - the large and the medium.

 

Found the quality of these much better than others being sold in Aus.

 I have run one for a year now and rate them. Keeps the ice well and keeps the stink Outta the boat. Then lift out and straight to the filleting table.
