I was at the Costco in La Mesa and saw Vittles Vaults for $25. They were the 60lb size. Not sure if they have them at other locations but I think that's a lot cheaper than the pet stores.

That is an excellent price, and the container is larger than the average ones that are carried at Petco.

Here's the one I use to have. I just bought the one from Petco because I liked the smaller bait tank. I promise you this will hold a lot of bait comfortably, and also if you're a tournament fisher, or like to keep your catch, this will hold everything. $25? that's about $20 less than Petco and it's bigger.

Bought one for my Brittnays for there grub,
Thoght about bait tank, but it would probably sink the yak, must hold 40 gallons
But what a great price.

I drilled my drain holes about 3/4 of the way up the back so that it wouldn't be too full.

Yeah it looked pretty big, I wasn't sure if it was the size most people use but i figured someone might want to try it at that price.

Unless you have a PA and are fishing C&R Bass tournaments, the 60# tank is some real overkill. Remember that the water you fill it with is about 8#s per gallon. Great price though, wish I could find that on the 40# model.

Exactly why I went down in size. The Bait tank was part of the deal on the purchase of my last Kayak, and the weight was a pain when filled with water. I love the 40# model.

I just picked one up for my PA - I put the drain 3/4 way up to use it for the C&R tournaments, but I'll install a second drain 1/2 way down with a shutoff valve for less water (and weight) to toss macs in.

Good Look'n Out! Just got mine for my WS120, perfect fit for an ORCA! Still $25.99 thats less than half of what they cost at PETCO...
