The only thing I'd add to Dan's comments: point the open drain of your cooler at a scupper then place a stud-end under one end of the cooler. I commercial trolled and we belly iced fish for well over a week, sometimes two weeks....the key is don't let melt-ice collect on or under the fish and if possible, keep a second cooler with clean salt ice available to top off your fish cooler as necessary. An ice scoop is an important piece of equipment I carry when I do my three week boat trips in the summer and fall
