I plan on NOT duct taping the package until I get to the check in counter, as that may make them less concerned with the "no ice" factor.

I have found 5lb blocks of dry ice-wonder if that will be useful-as 5 lb is the max-or just go the peas/caprisun route???


Thanks again!!! Looking forward to my Mahi-Mahi fishing!
CoCo/commercial props generally don't allow dry ice at all, so if you have a prop job connection, don't even consider dry ice. Personally I'd just go the no extra fees caprisun/frozen veggie route, it works well!
