I'll post pics when I can...thanks

One thing I learned about kayak fishing is you have to small down your gear. Meaning you have to find different ways to carry it on a Kayak. I too use to have a Milk Crate but my bait bucket was in there . I bought a small $20 tackle bag that came with two small plastic boxes and plenty of room for tackle for the day I'm going out. This is the fun with Kayaks, finding out how to use them for a day on the water and have access to all that you need. Remember if you put something behind your bait tank you're going to have to reach to get to your tackle, that could be more effort than you want. Looking into storing your gear in a smaller bag that you can leash up by your feet.
