Default Any ideas atv front case

I have a new 4 wheeler and want to set it up for ice fishing. I plan to carry my buckets in 3 milk crates which I will tie wrap to the rear rack. My problem is that I am looking for a somewhat weather proof box for rods e and gearapproximately 34" long by 8" wide and 6-8" high for the front rack that doesn't cover the whole rack. I plan to use a double gun rack on the extreme front portion of the front rack to carry an auger, spud bar and a shovel. I found some boxes but they are all around 15" wide which would cover the whole rack and wouldn't leave any room for the auger. Any ideas?

I would just build one. Get some plywood and go to town. Slap some hooks on the side to strap it to the racks and your laughing. Sure it may not look as nice but will do the job. I am going to build something like that for my bike because there is next to nothing for storage on it. I do not like those rear passenger seat type of boxes because you cannot put anything on the back racks so for me and obviously your ice fishing crates thats out of the question. I say go homemade then you get exactly what you want.

Thanks Hiawatha and you are right. I went into my shop today and got some scrap lumber and started my box. Now all I need is some ice....
