Question Checking Fish-in a cooler? Dry ice? HELP!

So I am in south Florida, and going to do a little (lot of?) sportfishing. I am looking at possibly bringing home some fish. I am confused with CO.com-

Here (http://www.continental.com/web/en-US...age/check.aspx) it says that in F I will get 3 checked bags-up to 70lbs each free-assume that is still correct.

But how to transport it???

Here (http://www.continental.com/web/en-US...e/fragile.aspx) it says that dry ice needs to be in a "vented" container "properly marked". Where do I get a vented container? It also says there that seafood can not be packed in "wet ice". Does this mean I can not put it in a cooler and have it on ice???


Here are my plans-get a GOOD igloo cooler-one of the 5 day keepers, and pack it with fish (in bags) and ice (not dry ice) also in bags. Then DUCT TAPE the h*ll out of it!!! Will tape off the drain too. I am fishing on Friday-leave on the 330pm Saturday-will have the fish in my freezer by 9pm Saturday! Anyone ever do this? Will CO accept it????

My concern is that CO says no wet ice-I am assuming that means slopping around in water-and a vented container for dry ice. UGH!

THOUGHTS???
