Plastic Bag for Your Fish
« on: November 02, 2009, 03:29:06 AM »

Is It true that using the colored Plastic Bag (Black Or Green) Can Make your fish Spoiled faster than the transparent or Lither (white) colored Bag? Just got an info from an old timer fishing the river  ??? ..Thanks for Reply

Putting a fish in a plastic bag of any color especially in warm temperatures is a bad idea as it draws the heat unless you wish to cook it before you get home. :D I find the best place is a wet burlap sack or failing that wet newspapers work well too. Also as soon as you can get your fish on ice especially during warm days.

You can buy bag specially designed for holding fish at most fishing stores - 50 cents each.

Don't reuse them either as bacteria accumulates in the bag after the first fish.
