I picked up a crate from office max, I liked the rectangular shape of it, but I knew it wasn't gonna sit in the pescador. So I cut it up.

Obviously won't fit inside the tank well:


So with a torch and a knife I "modified" it:


And now it fits:


Then I cut up some 1 1/2" PVC for some rodholder, secured them with UV resistant zip ties, and bungeed the crate down:


The bungee in the middle of the crate is for isolating my tackle trays. Let me know what you think.
