Hobie Livewell Question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Freddy4130 · 11-06-2012, 12:25 PM

Hi guys, this is my first post here. I am in South Florida right now but I will be in SD after the first of the year. I fish from a Hobie Outback. I almost always fish live bait as it is readily available here. I simply use a bucket and a bubbler right now. I am seriously thinking about getting the Hobie Livewell but I have a few reservations and I thought you guys could help. I am concerned that I would still have to use a bucket to transport my bait from the bait shop to the kayak. We don't have bait barges here so we buy it from the bait stores. Would this be an issue in SD or would I be getting my live bait once I am shoved off anyway? It just seems impossible to take that livewell off the kayak, transport it full of water and bait and then reattach it to the yak. Any solutions?
