An idea I haven't yet seen on here

Dang, Dave D. You've got the nicest bucket I have ever seen.

[Dave D]

Thanks man, I take pride in having a nice bucket!

I will have to make one like this for my Lowrance. I will make a larger "catch all" in the top for all my junk, or for a small minnow bucket.

Ya know there are just some days when you can't find anything that meets the needs a person has. So what's a guy to do other than built it yourself. So far I've used this on 8 trips and it's worked great! With the foam on the bottom the battery life has improved as well!

Thanks for the comment by the way!

Dave thats a sweet set-up, My favorite thing is the rod holders on the side of the bucket. One question though, Why did you cut a hole to see the vexilars screen? Don't you take it out while fishing anyways or do you sit on something else and just keep it near the hole?

The last couple years I really found myself running a gunning a string of holes on a couple lakes I fish. This usually resulted in being at the hole for only a few minutes, not enough time to get comfortable, always on my knees at the hole(hence no need for a seat). I needed something to carry two rods, scoop, vex and something to throw fish into until I got back to my tent or sled.

So here's kind of what I do. A rod in one hand and one or two in the rod holders. Run my string of holes and throw fish in the tray along the way. All I have to do when I go the next hole is pull up the transducer(comes out the side) and bucket handle in one hand and my rod in the other. It's very quick and is working great. Let me know if you have any other questions or want some more pics let me know, I've got a bunch.
