Woodsac,that is sure what i am gonna try..I figured that since it does not cost that much to make one of them,i would not be out much money if it did not work.I am surely gonna try something with the footpeg and see how that works.One other question with the way you made yours?Is there a lid or do you just untie it when needing to put a fish in?Sorry if that is a stupid question.....
