Go to target buy a $10 metal mesh basket and latch it over the side of your kayak. Best bait tank I ever had. The basket was 12x24, 15 inches deep. Make a lid for it.

question about this idea
it doesn't harm the bait had you paddle/peddle? because I have always wondered if it would be way to much water traveling threw the container

Drake, when I see you saturday I'll bring hose, hose clamps and all the plastic fittings to build you a sick tank, all you need is the container and pump and youre set. I get all this stuff free from work.

No I never had a problem with water pressure the faster you paddle/peddle the faster your bait will swim.
