Sorry 805 I responded to the wrong person. Get the bait tank.

Glad you said it. If you want to be taken seriously you got to change that picture. Even if you only catch a goldfish, anything. Take a picture of your kayak . Sorry for the jack. Maybe not to get started, but a good bait tank is invaluable.

Just keep in mind with the bait tubes you have to drag that around when you paddle, and if you put the bait in the wrong way you will kill your bait. The Easy way is to just get a bait tank and have peace of mind.

Remember this fish must be pointed in the was you are paddling so they can breath.

Get a tank. You can make it or buy, but get a tank.

I had a kayak that I loved,.was stable, fast had everything I needed..... Exept a tankwell for a live bait tank. Now shes gone and my new ride (coming tomorrow!!!) Is going to be rigged out. Bait tank, sounder/gps. I did a season with the "minimalist" approach. At some point it just became a pain in the a**. If you plan to fish live bait for any of the 3 coveted species on this site, a bait tank isnt a novelty its a necesity. Bait tubes work but when your friends are paddling a mile ahead of you waiting for you to catch up, you will reconsider.
