: As I was sitting in the middle of my living room floor with my freshly sanded
: deck around my waste making pretend paddle motions I was planning my deck
: rigging to best accommodate my fishing gear. One of the main reasons I'm
: building this kayak is to fish out of it. So where will I put the fish if
: I don't catch and release? My first thought was a stringer..no. My second
: thought was a live well about 8"s long made by installing two aft
: bulkheads instead of one just behind my back.
: I've never heard of this before and was wondering if anyone has tried it.

I think its a great idea. An aft chamber with a hatch on top and a drain plug in the bottom. The drain plug would be left open while fishing to let in fresh water and of course to drain out the water when you beach. I'm going to remember this one for myself.
