After the catch

[Widgeon]

I am curious to hear what you guys do when you catch a keeper and want to keep fishing. I worry about spoilage, so I looked into a fish, cooler bag, but they are pricey. In a recent video by Iceman, it looked like he covered his YT in a wet towel, which is what I plan to do in the near future.
How do you guys deal with this?

I had this problem the other day in LJ I ended up stickin my YT head first into my bait tank. But i lookong at hetting a game bag for my outback. I found one at southwind for about 70. Cheapest iv found so far and you dont have to stink up ur hul

If you do want to buy one, I found one that would be perfect for a yak, on amazon for around $50.

Actually less than I thought.

The reviews look good for this bag.
I've been looking for something less expensive than the Boone or Pelagic bags I'm familiar with. $
I hope this does keep ice for at least 1/2 a day or so to allow me to keep drinks & fish most of the day if I catch a fish early (especially since I'll probably only be able to fish "down there" twice a month or so).
I think this will slide down the hull to the back hatch of my Outback for landings too!
And the price seems right!
Thanks for the link.

Cover it with kelp then put the kelp in ur garden afterwards

Check these out. Pie shape to fit front hatch. Saw someone using it with success. He would bring ice packs and stick in I side and stays cold all day.

I do like Chuck D idea as well since I grow so much fruits/vegs.

They look nice but theyre all out of stock

I throw my fish on the rear deck and cover them with wet burlap bags. I also dip the fish back in the water occasionally.
I NEVER put them inside my kayak's front hatch (Malibu Stealth) because it seems to get warm in there.
Another reason that I like my fish on the back instead of in the front hatch is that I have better control of my kayak when coming back in through the surf. I've come close to pearling with nothing on the front and don't want 25+ pounds up there pushing down the nose.

Burlap works perfect
