Eel Bucket Storage Design - My Red Bucket's solution to keep those eels alive, Fall Gear 2010
Took some time today to make an eel bucket. As some of you know if you store the eels in your bucket over a longer period of time they will drown themselves in their own slime. Either that or they will poison each other with they excess er... stuff from their bodies.
Anyhow, enter my red buckets. Take two buckets and perform the drilling to one of them. The one that has the holes is the top bucket and the regular one is the bottom one. This drains the slime from the eels so they will live happily a little longer. This is the stack design.
Just a trick I found on a popular surf fishing website: Surftalk
Enjoy!

My Popping Plug MilkCrate Creation, Fall Gear 2010
Here is a quick 10 step guide to creating a lure/plug storage crate to go in your vehicle or to stack in your fishing den. Keeps the plugs organized and has enough room for sizes up to 10" long. This is the simplified version.
Project: Love your plugs
Items Used:
1. "OBTAIN" a Milk Crate
2. Decide on your pipe! Enter the 2 inch "Schedule 40"
3. Choose your weapon: Hacksaw 12"
4. Measure up! I'm at 10", ten...ten that is...
5. After marking up, time to grease your elbow!
6. Chopped up portions, ready to go! 24 Counted for!
7. Carefull attention to detail as I sand down the edges 120 grit!
8. VOILA! Enter final stage of Milkcrate design.
9. With the addition of plugs, the only step left cable ties.
10. FINISHED!

Start Day 2 - Drilling Water escape holes & Cable ties:
Now for the cable work. I tied all the outside tubes (6 on each side).
DONE!
Complete Elapsed Time: 3 hours
