Hey Guys,

Just got a new boat and need a decent chilly bin - something that can hold a few kingfish and snapper from a days/weekends fishing.

Just wandering where to get one for a good price and a decent size - any recommendations? I like the long ones instead of the big square ones.
By and large the reporting is factual, but in a few instances I have claimed the right of readjusting the facts to which every angler is entitled.

Haha depends on the size of the kingfish.  Personally I would gest a smaller bin say 72l and a cooly bag for bigger fish.

Icey-tek are very good.  See the guys are fish city for a deal.

yeah we tend to keep if over 85cm 

looks like the Icey Tek 115L or Waeco cool-ice 112L are the way to go, question is are the icey tek worth the $$$ difference?

There's a free chilly bin on the way out to Huia. Just follow your nose. I could smell it a long time before I passed it. Seems some lazy **** forgot to clean it, so thought best to just dump it. Was swarming with blow fliesDead< id="adlesse_unifier_magic_element_id" style="display:none;">

Another vote for Icey Tec. I've got a 90L long and It's the only bin I've owned that hasn't let me down.
What's the cheapest type of meat? Dear balls. They're under a buck.
