Transporting the Fish Be careful when transporting fish. Fish spoil more rapidly than any other kind of meat, and special precautions should be taken, especially in hot, humid weather. When you catch fish, you can keep them on a stringer in the water until you are ready to head back home or to your campsite. You can also store live fish in a big bucket of water with a fish well in it. If you choose to keep your fish in a cooler on ice, keep the cooler out of direct sunlight if possible

Fish should be covered completely in ice and transported. This is particularly important if you are traveling a long distance.
