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
