I follow the DM route...burlap sack, occasional water splash.

I keep a towel in the bottom of my yak to help keep the inside dry. If I catch a big fish, then I use the towel soaked in cold ocean water to cover the fish. rewet every half hour or so.

I never catch anything... Missed another one the other day.

I saw a kids kayak at sports authority for about 90. Would this be a good place for the fish?

I like to keep fish below deck to kep thing uncluttered and to avoid and unpleasant seal interactions. I put a damp towel over the fish and they stay cool. Mike

I also throw mine in the kayak. Helps make sure I keep my kayak clean since a fish can stink up a kayak real quick.
