Where Do You Store The Fish You're Taking Home On Your Kayak?

Featured Replies

I get two of the Walmart coolerbags for $2 and put one inside the other. I put some ice in the outside bag , and some on the inside. Put your fish in the inside bag. The outside one insulates it in the summer heat. I put my (frozen) drinks in the outside bag as well. For extra fishy protection, on your way out of Walmart, snag a handful of the umbrella bags and use those to put your fish in and not make your ice fishy.

This great set up costs $4. It works awesome for me.

EDIT: Similar to this. The Walmart bags are tougher. ....but these work well too.

In the lake. They will swim right beside your kayak, no stringer or anything. Lol

Don't use a stringer if it's warm out! If I'm going to eat it, it goes straight on ice.

catch and release!!!

I sure wish people would stop judging others who choose to keep a few fish to eat!! It's legal and taking a few each year does nothing to hurt the fish population!

It's very simple, as long as people obey rules, las and regulativos

I wish we had more people that would keep fish out of some of the lakes around me. Tons of bass that are under the 13" slot limit that would be perfect eaters, very few over the 15" limit though because of all the small fish.

Now, that's my kind of humor...lol.

if I kept all the bass I catch there would be none left for you. Look at just a small club tournament, 12 guys bring in 140 pounds of bass each week, all legal to keep if desired. theres thousands of clubs across the country. if it was ethical to keep bass and not to practice catch and release then theres no doubt the bass population would be wiped out. Bass isn't even tasty to eat any how. If you want to eat fish go catch something your state stocks, trout for example. something that you pay for when u buy a fishing license and every year will be replenished. theres enough people out there that keep everything they catch.

unless your fishing a small lake even 140lbs isn't that much. The lake I fish is a good size but not huge like some lakes in Georiga,alabama, and the Carolinas but almost nobody practices catch and release and the bass populations are fine. But you just claimed keeping bass is unethical and my arguement for that needs a whole new thread.

i think to better answer your initial question you might spell out which kayak you have and if you have already rigged anything up on the kayak.  or is this more of a hypothetical "if one had a kayak" type of question?
