storing stuff in the kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I don't know the Trident but if you have a center hatch, you can probably put some sort of a tray in the accessible area. I have a Revo and the hatch the easily accessible area is accessed by a small round hatch. The storage area is fairly large but the hatch is too small to get any rigid thing into.

My solution was to take the lid of a large rectangular storage container, (about 18" x 30"). I cut the plastic in half so it could be bent and shoved into the hatch. While inside, I reassembled the lid and tied the halves together with some zip ties.

Once assembled inside, I had a relatively flat sheet of plastic that was raised above the bottom of the hull by an inch or so, (to stay relatively dry). To finish things off, I glued some pool noodles to the edges of this lid to keep stuff from sliding front to back and side to side.

My setup is not perfect but it creates a fairly large, dry area that keeps my tackle from sliding out of reach while keeping the stuff I put in this area out of standing water.
