Moving on over to the Live side...
 

It's time to add to the arsenal. Bought all the components today and will put her together tomorrow. I hope it goes together soon. My 4year old thinks I am making an aquarium for her fishes.... Little does she know :the_finger:

Oh, and thank goodness I won't have to worry about the ants :rolleyes:

Don't moralize her to bad when you say "Yes this is a fishy tank" and when you come home she sees the fishy tank full of big fishys and your cutting one up and eatting some sashimi!!!:D

what are you going to use for a battery box

What was the total cost if you don't mind me asking?

I am using a Pelican Micro Case 1060. It cost a little more than i wanted to spend, but it fit the battery i am using perfectly.

Well, I don't know exactly wht the total cost was since I had some pieces and bought some pieces over a couple days. A basic breakdown is this:

Pet Food Storage (6.5 gal size) : $31
Bilge Pump $22
Pelican Dry Box: $20
6v 7a Battery: $21
2 90degree PVC elbows male & Female $4
2 1 1/2 PVC for outtake: $6
3/4 threaded pvc and cap for drain $3
Toggle Switch w/ waterproof boot $10
PVC Tubing $10
Extra Wire $6
Screws & O-Rings $10
plastic handle $2

I already had the Bilge, Battery,Handle and Switch plus some of the PVC so I am estimating those prices from when i got them a while back.

On quick estimation about $150 or so. I am sure I could have gone cheaper with a bucket and a cheaper dry box but I didn't :)

Add a couple hook rings so you can use something to secure it to the kayak, also I would suggest buying a plastic 3 rod holder and strapping it to your bait tank. Definetly is handy. Almost there...good luck

I dont know what kind of yak you have but my xfactor would not seat this style container very well. My tankwell does however have a square fitted section for a milk crate and these containers fit perfectly snug down inside of one if you put your intake fitting hi enough. You can also mount your rod holder bank to the crate which I think is alot more solid incase you take a swim.

Thanks for your suggestions! I am paddling an OK Trident 13. It's a little small for my live well, but adding rod holders on the side should snug it in nicely. The back fits a milk crate great and I have rod holders on that as well. when I am using the livewell I won't be able to fit the crate, At least not the one I am using currently. The trident has a spot that fits a plano 1612 marine box perfectly. I thought about using that as a bait tank. I still might if i find this is overkill for the fishing I do.
