Don’t forget about your bait

Soooo I last went fishing 10 days ago. I went out to the garage today and noticed my bait bag was still in my kayak, which was a bad sign. Thank GOD the bait I left in it was a full pack of sealed herring because here’s what it became after sitting in a hot garage for 10 days… check out that bacteria bloat and fish slurry! I’m curious if it would actually explode if I left it alone 🤮🤮

Looks like a tastey fish sauce or paste   

Yummy 🤢🤮

Soak some swimbaits in there

I wasn't as lucky bc my kayak smells like a dead body every time I walk by it. I left the hatch opened for about a week now and still stinky 

just set it in a closet until November - that'll make great crab bait!   

That was a very close call!  Good thing you sealed it!  I missed an anchovie in my bait bucket from Saturday and just discovered it by smell yesterday. 

Nice flotation device. Unfortunately that is one of the older models that requires temperature monitored too frequently.  

When i was like 18 i forgot about a box of squid in the back of my Corolla. Think it was probably 4-5 days later when i couldn't stand the smell in the car (lived in the Sunset in SF)...when i opened the trunk i nearly puked.
in the end i had to throw away all the carpeting in there, and bleach everything multiple times to get the smell under control.
it never really went away

I'll take it. That's the perfect floatie for my neighbors pool and bratty kid!
