Your main concern is how long can they be over 45 F so for instance if you have roughly 45 F saltwater readily available ð then fill the bucket with that .
Now for varsity technique squid holding without a Yeti cooler
get a smallish trash can and two 5 gallon buckets
. go to home depot paint department to and get one screw on bucket top
put the bucket with the top into the other bucket then drill a bunch of small holes in that top bucket ( why later )
then go to the wal mart camping aisle and get a 5 gallon dry bag then any supermarket for ice and KOSHER ( NOT NOT NOT Iodized ) salt or your squid will turn Brownish Yellow .
Crush the ice .. Everything including the kosher salt goes in the smallish trash can then the dry bag goes into the ice salt mix ( which now is a bit colder than 32 f by the way )
Catch squid put in bucket with top and holes on bucket without holes
Ink drips into bottom bucket . save the ink boil pasta in the ink later
repeat .. squid squid squid and so forth
when done put squid in dry bag . wash in ocean
rinse out two buckets
put dry bag and some ice in bucket without holes
oops better buy 3 buckets and 2 screw on tops
put ice and dry bag into clean dry unsquiddish darn awfully watertight screw top bucket
but bucket on footwell of BMW , Mercedes , Audi , Lexus
etc.. ( unless you happen to own a pickup then obviously leave it in the bed ) drive home
Squid are still sushi ( not that you would but ya could ) quality . nice car is still nice
Last suggestion transfer ink into plastic bottle then store in refrigerator for a few days if necessary or freeze into squidsicles until you need them .
