planning a multiday fishing trip in the coming weeks with my boys. First overnight fishing trip we've been on...couple of questions for you season veterans:
#1) How do you keep your fish fresh when doing a multi-day trip? Crushed ice works well for a day out but wont crushed ice melt in the cooler over a 2-3 day fishing trip in summer months? I assume bleed your catch but dont gut? We will be anchoring in a bay so no access to fresh ice. Was planning on getting lots of ice packs and frozen bottles to keep catch fresh.
#2). How do you prove to DFO that you are on water for multiple days? I know you are allowed a max of 2 days limit for 2 days or more of fishing. Has anyone been checked by DFO and what did they require as evidence you were away for more than 1 day?
