The BEST Kayak “milk crate” ever?!

A little bit of randomness throughout the video. BUT, the kayak tackle/rod storage started out with your basic milk crate, then the Yak Attack Blackpak and things of the like. Is this the next step in the evolution of the kayak “milk crate”???

That is some “milk crate”! Thanks for keeping it real and sharing.

[@linovasquez9327]

Straight up, if those shirts came in black and the bass and blue gill were white or gray, I’d be all over that. Good video, Greg 🤙🏻

[@taylorquintero7745]

Greg your the man dude... I am going to be making this box for my titan 10.5 as well. I really appreciate you going over this for us! THANKS!!!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Anytime Taylor! It's a great addition and perfect fit for the 10.5. Let me know how yours comes out man!

[@derekberry7681]

That box is awesome! Is there a build video of it?

[@micahvanstrien4114]

The Wizard is more like a god. Always impressed with his stuff.

[@790dragonslayer]

[@hunternavari455]

Great video Greg! That’s why they call it fishing and not catching, you don’t always catch anything. I went out on my kayak last night for 4 hours and all I caught was a tiny bluegill. Thats a badass milkcrate setup you got as well!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Hunter!

[@smileycamel5635]

Nice crate .

Awsome man! Hope you like it!!

[@jaysonelam8321]

Cool box! Appreciate you sharing your gear set up with your followers. Good stuff!

[@ddubbz1979]

Can you say more about the lid on the box? The description parts list mentions custom top plate.

[@romansthirteen-four8626]

That is a GREAT box, no doubt - but it’s $297.00. I’m making rod holders out of PVC & attaching them to two milk crates I was given - because my budget won’t support that much cash for AN EMPTY (very nice) box. Can’t bring myself to do it. You did give me an idea for the box - I might check Harbor Freight for a more affordable similar case. Great video - thank you.

[@leeder7682]

Love the sound track.... again lol. Anyday fishing is better than anyday day at work. Whether catching fish or not.

[@jaecubed592]

Man you have come along ways from the early days. That box is amazing... Your buddy did a great job... Professional for sure.

Thanks Jae! He's the wizard for a reason! lol

Out of my league Donny.

[@sstig13]

Wow that box is really cool.

[@mikejacques8863]

I know this vids really old but I’m hitting your back catalogue to scratch the itch- just had a new baby so it’ll be a while until I hit the water again. Just an idea; I have the current tshirt designs you have and they’re beautiful; what about some of your favorite techniques done in that style- drop shot, jig, wacky, punch especially- just put it where the bait fish is….just a thought

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

I went fishing today and caught all dinks. Some days it happens! Love the kayak crate. I cart top my kayak empty and getting everything hooked up takes a lot of time. Very slick system.

[@richardpeebles8492]

That tackle crate is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Richard! Great addition to the kayak

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

Looks like possibly a Pelican 1620 is the base for that “crate” . Can you confirm the model number? I didn’t see that in the video description

[@alexpark3420]

Loved the intro! Would love to see more of your daily life away from fishing too

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks man, definitely planning on more VLOG style videos!

Dude the green bass color on the new shirts is awesome!! And I will be making a tackle trunk once I get my new yak later this year!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Cody! Yep, the tackle trunk is awesome!

[@adamthomas6969]

Super nice case. I want one now. The Case Cruzer appears to be a knock-off of the SKB case line and more affordable. Nice. That way I wont feel so bad for cutting it up. :)

[@samhawkins9615]

I'm curious - do you not like to Flip in the delta? Deadly out there. Dee Thomas made it famous... He caught a lot of really big bass.. way back in the brush and soup using it.

[@OfficialCylus]

Been watching your videos for a month or so now and I absolutely love the kayak fishing especially your frog fishing keep it up 👍🏻

Great share Greg, next year will be my upgrade to my crate. This is an awesome idea. I could see this at ICAST next year too :)

Thanks Jim! Good stuff at Clear Lake!!!

[@onefishwonder3366]

Hey Greg, did you customize the top of the case to make it flat or did you buy it that way?

[@MrPauldmarine]

Could you post a link to the actual box for us fellow titan owners? Or at least the measurements. Thanks

[@johnnysaechao6218]

Being real is the deal, not ever outing is successful when it comes to bass fishing some days are a grind.. keep it up bro love the vids!👊

[@yingyang803]

I was there at Lake Camanche on Sunday! It was tough for me. Only caught 1 fish on a jig. The lake was good until the party boats and jets skiers started coming out.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

tough lake to fish in the summer for sure, ill be back in the fall!

[@yingyang803]

It’s called a Case Cruzer. www.casecruzer.com/shipping-carrying-cases/index.html

[@danhixon7806]

Thanks for sharing looks like a great set up... curious now that it's been nearly a year do you still use this box set up or have you changed it up. How's it holding up for you?

[@miker1961]

Great box! Love all the mods. Really clean and super efficient. I have a Titan 10.5 too. Just wondering how tight the fit is for the box. I'm currently using a rectangular milk crate and I believe it's 19" and it's a pretty tight fit. Also wondering if the link you have for the Boonedox landing gear on Amazon is for the Native Titan. I ordered from Austin Kayak but they are on back order and if I can get them from Amazon I'd rather do that. Thx

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

Clean, precise functions, and conceptually well thought-out. Thanks for the ideas you have given me. (The old Black Milk Crate has gotta go, after viewing this!) Haha! Thanks again, Greg.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

You got it man! Glad it was helpful!

[@cheenoulee7455]

Wow. Regular is 3.77?! Here in Wisconsin, that’s the price for premium. But love the shirts, I’m planning to get one myself.

Great video as always buddy. So would this fit in a Hobie PA 12 been looking for a bigger box for a while now

[@OldLadyAngler]

Wow. That tackle trunk is pretty nice. I wouldn't mind having a scaled down version of that! Have you had the Space Dust IPA from Elysian? Great beer!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Having one right now! I'm an IPA fanatic and space dust is in my top 5!

[@OldLadyAngler]

Yeah IPAs are SO good. They were my fave until I tried bourbon barrel aged stouts. But IPA is still the summer time go-to beer. My top 5 IPAs (not in any order) Pliny The Elder, Pliny The Younger, Heady Topper, Dinner, Hop Slam. UGH there are so many great craft brewers out there now! It's hard to choose.

[@NikonF5user]

How do you clamp that sucker in the boat?!? Awesome stuff regardless, makes me want to take on a new project!

[@ftk2432]

The box linked in the description has a much thicker lid than the one in the video. Did you make a whole new lid out of the 1/4” starboard?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

you got it man

[@ramirolopez5808]

I dont see the link? Any help please.

[@iGoVroomVroom]

Did you mean 20 amp hour battery and not 20 volt for your fish finder? Could you link the battery you got?

[@CRAPPIE168]

Where can I buy this box with the wheels? Thanks

[@AZfishing1847]

Do you think you will upgrade your fish finder at some point? Maybe something with side scan?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Mine just cracked (still works) but will be upgrading for 2019 for sure. Not sure on SS yet but that'd be pretty sweet for winter fishing in these deep reservoirs here in Cali

[@amals51]

Hey Greg, thanks for the tackle box tour! I have a couple questions about it. I’m thinking about doing something similar for my 13.5. 1. Did you place board over the lid and screw in, if so is there a reason? 2. Are the tackle boxes 3700? 3. Did The wizard drill through box to mount anything? Is it watertight? I really like the idea and you’re right, the black pack is nice but just not dimensionally big enough!!

[@justice4everybody]

6:20 The milk crate, tackle trunk portion of the video.

[@keenanmoore264]

One thing I can't stand about my black pack is that it doesn't fit 3700 size plano boxes. I had to buy all small boxes.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

For sure, always wish they came out with a bigger size blackpak but no need for that now!

[@ikam1]

I think it is made from a Pelican case 1620.

[@bluelinefishing5723]

Greg how does it hold up if salt water was to get on the ports. And how much would it cost to make a box like that

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Still gotta test that out. Salt trips are hopefully in store for this falll. 400.00 roughly without the battery

[@rosieswildadventures9473]

Where did you source the hinges and latches

[@fishingva9946]

Greg i love you and hate you for showing me the box. Trying to put it together now. Do you have a list of the cables he used to connect the battery to the fish finder or the cords for for fuses etc? If not its okay i will try to go a local hardware store. The easy part is spending the money. They hard part is putting it all together haha

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha, sorry man! The box in the end is worth it though! The cables had to be spliced and I know he used the following : Yak-Power YP-PMC48S Power Port 12v Outlet

[@fishingva9946]

@@GregBlanchardFishing thanks man appreciate the reply. Dont forget to pick up that buzzbait with a black horny toad instead of the skirt as we get further into the summer. I think its going to help you catch a lot of bass in tournamets before the sun comes up.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

[@greenmachineangler]

Great rundown, man. Love this box. One question that I have not seen you address, why did you replace the case lid?

[@wizardwerx917]

Marvin Forte the lid of the case stock had a 2” rise on it in order to have the lid open fully with rod holders mounted to the back you either have to space the rod holders back at least 2” further or flat top the lid I chose to flattop the lid. Because the box is rather large it would be a pretty good reach to grab your rods if you space them out further back. Hope this answers your question. Tight lines

[@greenmachineangler]

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the feedback!
