How do you guys stow your gear? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey Guys,

I finally got both a seat and a paddle for my kayak and have taken it on 2 bay trips so far. Everything went smoothly, but I purchased this yak with intentions to take it out into the deep blue of La Jolla to target some yellowtail, white sea bass, and calicos.

Only problem is storing gear on a kayak. How do you guys do it? Pre-made ones that you buy online? Build your own? Or do you just lay your tackle on your lap and hope that you don't hook yourself or lose any tackle?

I was thinking about going the DIY avenue and I don't have a standard Hobie, Malibu, or Cobra kayak so none of the pre-made boxes would fit my yak. I have a Perception Aquaterra and the spot behind the seat for holding gear is 10" W x 15" L.... Anybody have any pics of some of their own custom storage?

Thanks,

Eric
