Sonny,

I never knew about this item, looks tempting.  How do you secure this thing from tipping over?  I've been using the $9 Frabill bait bucket from Sports Authority and drag it behind.  Works OK.

Just tie a rope around it then 2 side ropes to the yak should keep it steady.. 

One of the owners of OutdoorPlay is a member of NWKA and a real cool guy.

for those with the the bilge pump kind. how far into the water does the pump hang. working on mine and need to determine how deep the pump needs to sit. I just can't stomach shelling out $200+ for something I will only use a few times a season

pricey but good...  http://www.kayakfishingsupplies.com/servlet/the-1031/KFS-Ultimate-Bait-Tank/Detail
