newbie fishing ??

[Sdspeed]

If you go out and are lucky enough to catch a keeper early in your fishing trip what do you do to preserve (it) them until your back on land since Kayak space is limited?

Also what lighting is required if you go out or before daybreak or decide to fish at night?


tks

i think you can use inside the hull? would it cause stability on the yak?

Cover it with a shirt or gunny sack and let the bait tank keep it moist and cool.

Well that would keep em out of the sun and weather plus be cooler, but can you fold a halibut in half length wise?

I usually keep'em hanging over the side, unless there are some brave seals around. Then I'll pull'em up over my lap, or in the drive well area. When I had my stealth I just threw'em in my front hatch. If you are lucky enough to catch something nice, and want to keep it you shouldn't spend too much time out there you owe it to yourself and the fish to keep it as cool and fresh as possible.

bring knife, fork plate, salt, pepper, and your appetite?

I usually slap the fish on the bow of the yak and cover it with a burlap sack, every so often I will splash some water on it just to keep it moist and happy.
