What do you guys use? Not a fan of stringers. I am going to have a crate behind me so I am guessing the best idea is to get a large cooler bag from the dollar store and just keep it under my seat somehow?
Fish Storage in the Coosa ideas?

I have a California Innovations bag that I put in the front hatch. You can get them from Sam's for cheap. It holds 5 reds and some trout easy. It will puncture though, so be warned.

you actually store it under your front hatch? what do you do from the fish getting out and sliding all in your hatch and stinking it up?
I zip it up.Originally Posted by CTGalloway21
I use an Igloo 25Qt Cooler that fits perfectly in the tank well.

What do you have in your crate that you can't put under your seat? Also, if I ever have my seat in the low position I can stack my tackle boxes between the seat and the cooler and they are pretty secure.

I got a crate and am going to get a cratepak. I can get a soft shell cooler and put between my crate and seat.
how hard is it to reach that far forward to the front hatch?
In warm water I can crawl up there. In cold water, I straddle the boat and scoot.
Not that hard, but I'm like a ninja - nimble and well balanced.
Until someone throws a rod on your seat ehh? :P
I don't know about yours but opening the bow and stern hatches on the Coosa is a PITA when off the water and I can't even imagine how it is possible on the water.

it's true - a real balancing act to open that front hatch while out on the water. Typically I will place my knees on the gunnels up around where I keep my foot pegs, then walk the hands forward until I can get the bungee off the front hatch. I cut a 10" piece out of the front bungee hatch so that it will only stretch to one side (versus both L & R) so getting it open w/ one hand is now much easier...

This bag fits perfectly under front hatch of coosa and does not slide past foam supports. http://www.shopgetoutdoors.com/index...sh-bag-md.html. Insulated and keeps ice most of day. Its normally marketed as a Native Watercraft accessory. I have the medium size. A large is available but not sure how it would fit under in the front hatch. I don't use to keep fish, but as general storage compartment or with cold drinks.
I think I will just put the fish down my pants.
i probably wouldn't do that if you catch a striper...scales and fins like razors...could lose something...or a catfish...a sunfish would really suck...crappie may be be alright...they're kinda soft
Give a man a fish...he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish...his wife won't see him much.
what about a lionfish?
