When I was paddling my Trident, the flatter top of its bow was the perfect place to store and transport the traps (collapsed) going to and from the crabbing grounds.  The side bungies worked perfectly for securing them on each side. That was what I got used to, and could easily straddle the hull and shimmy forward as needed to do what was need to do to get them free

Now with the revo, its not nearly as easy but I do pretty much the same thing. It is quite gymnastics act and a lot less stable. The bow is round, and there are no side bungy cords built in, so the traps can wobble around- especially if its rough. Even then it's a 2-pot limit for me. I probably wouldn't do it the same way if I had to surf launch.  You need to get creative with bungies attached at the very bow that latch on to something at the mast hole, and one to each side gunnel gear trax.

I hand pick each crab out of the pot and put them in a soft sided Costco cooler. When I am done I collapse the trap and wrap up the trap snugly with the rope.

BTW.  Cut up Yoga mats are a great addition and prevent any sliding around
