I need some where to store my tools. I am tired of having them all over the boat. Where are y'all storing them for quick access? Pics would be great!!

Mine is one of those pliers and scissors things and I zip tied the metal clip to my front bike seat pole...the base part, not the telescoping part.  Keeps it all in one spot and I know right where it is.

I keep my needlenose in the recess where my trolling motor peddle is, my clippers and pocket knife in my pocket, and my small sizzors in the plano box with my punch stuff.

I have a picture somewhere, but I took a Folgers plastic coffee can, punched a hole in the bottom and stick my seat post through it, holds everything pretty well.

Mine are in the bait bucket that came with the boat. The bucket is in the front right hatch. My long needle nose pliers are just laying on the deck.

I might have to consider that.  You could even keep the lid and make a hole large enough in the center for the pole and then cut slots out for the tools you want that way they stay ready to grab.  I love the easy, cheap/free solutions.

"Folgers, good to the last drop", or fish, whichever comes first, or last, ah heck you know that's a pretty good idea!

I keep a leatherman tool on my belt for quick plier access. As for emergency stuff I have a watertight Tupperware type rectangle box in the compartment behind the driver seat. It has 15' of rebar tie wire, a combo scewdriver, small channellocks, spare sparkplug, stuff like that. In that same compartment I keep small binoculars, a scale and tape measure, Sunglasses, and gloves. All my plano boxes are in the main storeage box under the front deck. Finally I keep a smallish tackle box for things I need to change out quickly like different color senkos and a few cranks and jerkbaits, and some weights and hooks.

For my most important and most used tool (my line clippers), I use a golf cap magnet.







For tools like pliers, scissors etc, I am open to ideas guys. I love the coffee can idea, but unfortunately I don't use my front deck seat that often.
