Need Advice or ideas: Keeping a bait bucket from moving around in the back of your boat!?

New to FishUSA and thought someone out there could help me fix the problem of my bait bucket always flipping over in the back of my boat? Any advice or help on this one?

    Just tie it off to a rod holder... we set ours in the back corner and run a length of thin nylon rope from the handle to the back rod holder base, make it snug enough the bucket can't fall over and problem solved.... it may slosh a little but that is it.
    We have the length of nylon rope on it anyways, since it is how we tie it off over the side of the boat when we are anchored up.

    Maybe glue some non slip rubber to the bottom.  Like rubber shelf liner.

    In the back of my truck I put it in a cooler with frozen 2 liters of water upright on either side. The lid of the cooler dosenʻt close but everything arrives upright. I also have a smaller flow-troll bait bucket that will lie down within the cooler and allow me to close the cooler lid.

    are you talking about trailering the boat to the lake or running on the lake ?
