Outback fish storage

Sqidco sells burlap sacks for a dollar. I put one in the plastic tube that a three pack of tennis balls come in. This keeps it dry in the event that it's not used and getting tangled up with anything while on the water.

Thank you all for the ideas! This site is really a great resource and community. I was inspired by your gunny sack/cooler ideas and remembered that I have an old nylon duffel bag that I can fold up and store when not in use and attach to the bow when I score a big or

Maybe I'll even get some closed cell foam and sew/use adhesive to insulate it for those longer days on the water!

Thanks again, and tight lines.

I'm now selling these for $12.99. I got the idea to sell them from that last guy who had those fantastic paddle leashes. Lol.

Keeping it dry is a good idea. Prevents the need for airing out the smell again when it gets wet. I always get mine wet, not necessarily for fish, so I'm making unnecessary work for myself.

Thanks!

Ziploc bags would work too. Flat, small and non-rigid shape.

Another thought on using trash bags: Avoid black trash bags unless you want to start cooking your fish early -- absorbs solar energy/heat. Maybe we all know this already, but I thought I better mention it just in case ;-)

Burlap sacks are much cooler and breathe more easily than anything else I can think of. Just keep splashing them with water. Carrying ice is more clutter, another step, something else to buy, more weight/volume, etc., unless it conveniently fits into a container that fits with a streamline shape to fit your kayak.

I like simplicity.

That's also what I figured.

I have found that I can fit a couple of legal halibut under the new seat on the 2015 Outback even with it on its lowest setting.
