Fish kill bags

Hobie sells padeyes (loop attachments) which screw into the same threaded holes in the hulls of its kayaks...

Being Hobie, those padeyes are ridiculously expensive and, not to mention, out of stock:

They are really nice, of course, but if you are on a budget, it's easy to drill a few holes, and attach $0.50 nylon padeyes. With stainless fender washer (or 1/4" starboard plastic) backing and a dab of goop, they'll be indestructible and waterproof. They'll also be positioned exactly where you want them.

Yeah, I ended up just moving some padeyes around from the seat area back aft. IMO the strange open cleats for the rear Bungie system is useless anyways, won't really hold anything in a flip and those open cleats are just begging to snag line.

BTW, California Canoe and Kayak in Oakland has the stock Hobie padeyes in stock, so no shipping....but same price.

Looks like a great setup.
