Chiller Bags
Do any of you have a Chiller bag or similar product for keeping fish? If so what brand would you recommend?
They look like a great product and slightly more compact than an esky.
Cheers

Re: Chiller Bags
G'day, my mother in law was nice enough to make me a chiller bag to suit the back well of my kayak. Just had to buy two chiller bags from woolies, about $5 each I think? Pick the stitches appart which leaves two long padded sections and a long zip, cut it to the shape or size you want then sew it back up. This is mine, also made a smaller one to keep squid seperate, but you might be after something heavier duty. This has been fine for a couple of years for me.

Re: Chiller Bags
RB, Listen, I recon there great !
I originally had no kill tank ( one getting done as we speak) and relied on an esky, but never realised how good they were until I bought one and
used it. I think there are different sized chiller bags available, but there ability to be hung upright and out of the way is perfect for space.
Generally chuck some ice in the bottom and they do keep things pretty cool if your out for a fish for the day. I was sceptical that they would work, but was pleasantly surprised. I got mine from the down rigger shop, I was buying one of his down riggers and saw the chiller bags on line.
Recon whether your putting a schoolly tuna or a bag full of your bay catch in it works great.

Re: Chiller Bags
Hey mate, I've got this old one which I'd be happy to sell you. I've added some extra bits to trick it up... definitely turns eyes down at the ramp.
