After the photo of my recent catch on the WCKA 2010 thread, I received numerous enquirers about my fish box. When I got my Chumani last December I wanted to customize it and make it into a fishing kayak. Having spent more on myself than planned and budgeted I had to make plans that did not cost money. I also started with a crate that I picked up at the entrance to Duynefontein (some people believe that is out local dump site), but I soon realised it is open on top and things fall out if I get dumped. So I replaced it with a bucket with a lid. A 20 kg HTH bucket.
Then I still had the problem what to do with any fish I caught. And where to store my bait. I first wanted to build a plywood box, but then decided to use an old addis swing top bin. Cut it in 2 and joined with stainless steal bolts and nuts to form a swivel. I added a piece of another HTH bucket to form the front side. The whole contraption is kept in place with 2 pieces of bungee and a stainless steal lip. I added a plastic cutting board, my knife and a home made holder for my pliers. It easily holds 5 X 2+kg kob.
