Internal bait tank, so much nicer - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I just finished the shake down run on my new internal bait tank/live well. No leaks and the pump self primed with no problems. Having the bulk of the tank volume below the water line is so much nicer. Also, no more drag from an external pump or bait tube. The intake and overflow drain outlet are near the skeg and rudder.

I'm running it on a timer for a net flow rate that equals about 10 tank volumes per hour.

More pics

I borrowed design concepts from cioppino and Angler's Yak Shack

Now I have to get out of the office and back on the water.
