Counterbalancing Livewell - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I keep a Reliable 36" kill bag with 20lbs of ice on the bow of my Outback and it sits nice and level in the water with the livewell filled up. But it's also a 400lb capacity kayak. Sounds like you may just be pushing capacity on that kayak, and adding more weight would potentially create another issue. If I remember correctly, the weight rating on the Mirage Sport is under 250lbs.
