Clean a fishy cooler

Bleach, Dawn dish soap, fill with water and shake it up. Let it sit for a day and rinse it out.

This is what I do. I also do this in my livewell and baitwells in the boat.

Pour some bleach in, fill with water, and let it sit for a day. Done this with Engel bait coolers that somebody forgot to empty a few times and gets all the smell out.

Which reminds me…

This. I also add some dish detergent.

I have been using oxyclean when my engels get funky. It is amazing how clean and fresh everthing comes out. The net inside will look like the day you bought it.

I put half a scoop in the bait bucket and fill it with hot water, shake it and let it sit for a day. After that just rinse it out a couple times and its amazingly clean.

All of you have been very helpful. Thanks so much for your help!
