foldable kill tank
I am looking for a little foldup-able kill tank for the front hatch of my kayak. It has to be soft to squish through the hatch and then boing back into some kind of usable shape to put ice into, perferably water proof as well.
I notice Willo uses a snowboard bag for his catch. This would be perfect if I could find one of them at a second hand shop. The other thing I thought of would be one of the soft eskies but they dont seem to come in sizes long enough to put a spottie, or hopefully a blue in.
Any ideas? If anybody sees one of the snowboard bags somewhere reasonably cheap can ya PM me?
Cheers guys

what about look in at spotlight and try to see if you could get the fabric to get the misses or good old mum to make on to size???

Re: foldable kill tank
themooks,
Do you sit on top of the kayak or are you down inside it?
I used to fish for tailor on a racing ski and we kept the fish on a piece of heavy insulated wire tied between the footstraps. Just undo one end and thread it up through the gill and out the mouth and then re-tie. Wire out the mouth stops them biting you and keeps them secure if you get barreled by a wave. Fish just sit on the deck between the legs and water sloshing over them keeps them cool and fresh for the few hours fishing.
Cheers

Great idea, but i'd be a little concerned about the berley trail
around these parts! When we fish from the rocks around here its nothing to see 3or 4 sharks coming to the surface where we are fishing! A couple of months ago a fella caught a spanish and gaffed it, then placed it into a small channel that washes back into the water. There were 2 sharks there within about 15 min, cruising up and down virtualy rubbing thier noses on the rocks trying to find the source of the smell! Too scary for me!

Re: foldable kill tank
your right there agnes, the noahs are never far away. It surprises a lot of pll how quick a shark can turn up with some dead fish in the water. No ideas on the kill tank , has to be a solution though! hope u find it.

Sorry I don't have any input for you Mooks. Let us know how you go though. Be interesting to know. Snowboard cover is a goodie though.
