ABSTRACT:
A dynamic tray for dry storage of bait and other items rests on the ice in a cooler and remains resting as it melts. The tray has a perforated flat bottom panel and upstanding sides. Protuberances extend outwardly from the top of the sides and fit into vertical slots in the walls of many conventional coolers. These slots extend part way down from the top of the cooler. When the protuberances engage the ends of the slots as the ice melts, the tray is prevented from further downward movement that might immerse the tray in melt water. An accessory static tray has upstanding sides with a top outwardly directed flange that engages a ridge near the top of the cooler chamber. This holds the tray at a fixed position above the dynamic tray. Sealed frozen packages of water may be held on the tray so that items on the dynamic tray are cooled from above as well as below.
