Roy, how the heck are you going to win the AOTY if you sell all your yaks? Or, have you devised some devious plan that evades our simple minds? Just a thought!

Okay, it's late!

  Thanks guys,, This peoject started because of my back problems. Hard to twist around or pick up heavy  bags behind seat. I don't play in the surf, on purpose anyway.. so the "rod pod"  turned into a fish box.
   Fount two plastic trash cans that fit the curve of the bottom and  long enough to fill space , bottom ends fore and aft lapping at center. After some fitting and trimming it snapes under the comeing lip, laps in center 2-3 ". A couple pop rivets botton /sides and on top edges,, goop and foam plug misfits ,, waterproof.. Water empties  when boat is turned back upright (tested)..
  This also gave my foot and leg braces  1.5" more room because the lid isn't needed.  Really handy.. Use a cheap pump-up weed sprayer to hose it out when loading. 
 Thi onnking the new revo will  use a plastic coated cable attached off side rear, some slack , a clip on end by knee. Put fish on cable ,lift up high,after  they are bled ,and they should slid back to well behind seat..More stuff to think about till boat gets here !!!

 Should mention that there are no revits through hull except on combing lip.. sits on bottom of hull attaches at combing.. Will come out to return to rod-pod .. have cover.

Roy, with that fish box pic - you got my wheels turning.   

Allow me to think out loud here for a second. 

1. Build a tub out of heavy duty pond liner (fish spine resistant material) and attach it to some kind of plastic lip that fits the opening of the hole, yet does not fall through. (Still thinking this part out).

2. Put poles and other gear in the hole as normal, and then pop in this flexible tub.

3. Put the pod cover back on and strap/bungee it down.

4. Surf launch.

5. Once your out on the water, open the pod, temporarily pull out the tub, pull out rods and any other gear that can stay topside while fishing.

6. Replace this tub and pop the pod cover back on.

7. As fish are caught, bonked, and photoed - open the pod and drop in the fish.

8. When done fishing and ready to head back through the surf, pull out a stringer, or burlap bag and secure fish topside. 

9. Open pod, and pull out the tub temporarily.

9. Load all previous fishing gear below deck, put tub back in place, and maybe put fish back in the tub with or without stringer/burlap bag.

10. Secure the pod lid.

11. Return through the surf.   

Not sure if this violates any fishing protocol with hatches open out at sea or not, but hey it's just my first thought on the idea here.   

 Sounds good, it's  really handy to have a place to land/keep fish.. Drop in will seal if a lip is used on top.. good  to be removeable. The rod pod lid was a pain for me because it took up to much width, my leg braces would not fit down into sides so being water tite without it worked for me..
  Plastic  is fun to work with,, heat and form..  I had a hinge in 1'3 of rod pod cover, maybe a dry bag with a indexing top to fit pod top? .. Things that keep one awake at nite !Royg
