Yes Mr Gooose. Do tell. I'm hoping for some good news as I count down the next month. Gooose, Saturday morning the 15th I plan to be there with bells on.

To anyone who cares, right now the plan is to fish the morning of the 15th on the Quil. Then head down to Woodland to visit my grandma in the afternoon. If I don't have a limit I'll evening fish the Lewis. If not, I'm going to wait for the chime of midnight, then hit the Lewis until I drop. Sunday afternoon head back to the Quil. Hit it up on Sunday evening and Monday. Then hit the Puy/Carbon Tuesday at dawn before boarding the plane. Sleep is for pansies. I may be making requests from various people to borrow freezer space to hold my catch. Of course all eggos go to host families! God knows I'm not going to need them over here on this coast.

Airlines allow 2 checked bags and a carry on. A 50 pound fish box counts as a checked bag. Make sure the fish is forzen solid, and DO NOT PUT DRY ICE IN THE BOX . The airlines will not allow dry ice (I was told ice is a no-no as well, so check). Those 50 pound fish boxes work great. I checked 2 as check baggage coming home from AK, and carried my one bag on.

DO NOT PUT DRY ICE IN THE BOX?????

You should check with the Airlines. They Do allow dry ice in small amounts( goes by poundage)
Here is the Info you need

Guidelines for Shipping Seafood

The U.S. Government has established security measures which prohibits air carriers from accepting cargo on passenger aircraft that does not originate from shippers who meet TSA requirements. Only Known Shippers will be allowed to tender cargo.

Advance Booking Required
Submit your Online Booking Request or call 1-800-225-2752. Bookings can be made 12-48 hours prior to departure. Cancellations must be made 8 hours prior to departure. All seafood must be tendered as Specific Commodity Rate (SCR) 0300.

Shipper's Responsibility
It is the shipper's responsibility to package all perishable shipments. To maximize freshness and quality, the product must be able to withstand a minimum of 48 hours in transit until pickup, without refrigeration. The following acceptance standards comply with general regulations of all major carriers.

Packaging
Freeze or chill seafood thoroughly before packaging for best final destination temperature.
Select durable, watertight packaging, preferable with insulation. Sturdy metal or hard plastic camping coolers, or waxed corrugated cartons (wetlock boxes) are the preferred shipping containers.
Wetlock Cartons
A multi-walled, waxed fiberboard / cardboard wetlock carton is the accepted container, provided one 4-mil polyethylene bag, or two 2-mil bags is used inside.
A standard wetlock carton shall provide easy handling, better stacking capability and allow for maximum cubic space capacity.
Bags must be sealed with elastic bands or nylon clips to prevent leakage.
Wetlock boxes should have the bottom stressed for 275 pounds and the top for 200 pounds.
Coated waxed cartons may be used for shipping frozen seafood.
Previously used cartons shall not be acceptable.
Containers must be sealed or secured with strapping tape, or a similar material.
Unapproved styrofoam coolers or boxes shall not be accepted by Alaska Airlines.
Gel ice packs are recommended to hold perishables at proper temperatures.
Wet ice is not allowed.
Dry ice is excellent for freezing perishables. Each container must be clearly marked with the words "DRY ICE" and the quantity of dry ice. More than 5 pounds requires the processing of Dangerous Goods documentation. Seafood shipments must be packed to withstand:
Stacking up to six feet high.
Pressure from adjacent cargo.
Crushing action of tie-down straps.
Manual Handling.
Exposure to the elements between the aircraft and cargo terminal facilities.
