A bucket board includes a semi-circular groove therein for engaging only a portion of the rim of a conventional bait bucket. The groove is sufficiently deep so that if the board were to tilt slightly, the outer wall of the groove will bite into the outer wall of the bucket thereby keeping it from tipping over. A built-up rim surrounds most of the outer edge of the top surface and serves to keep debris from falling off the board when the invention is used as a fish cleaning board. An opening in the built-up rim permits scraps to be scraped into the bait bucket when the fish cleaning process is completed. Alternatively, the board can be used as a comfortable seat for a fisherman or passenger to sit on. The inside of the bucket is accessible while the bucket board is mounted on the bucket and can be rotated while the bait bucket remains stationary. A slot that extends all the way through the board safely accommodates the blade of a knife. An integral molded ruler is incorporated into the surface of the bucket board. The entire device is made from blow-molded, high molecular weight HD polyethylene which preferably incorporates integrally molded posts for additional strength. Nylon, polypropylene, ABS and polyester could also be used for constructing the device.

A cutting board and seat apparatus for mounting on the open end of a bucket, said apparatus comprising: a board having a top and a bottom surface; and, a groove located in the bottom surface of said board for engaging the rim of the open end of said bucket, said groove dividing the bottom surface of said board into a first and a second section, said first section comprising that portion of the bottom surface which at least partially covers the open end of said bucket when said apparatus is mounted on the rim of said bucket and said second section comprising the remaining portion which normally extends outside of said bucket when said apparatus is mounted on said bucket, such that the ratio of the area of said first section to the area of said second section is in the range of 1:1 to 1:4, said groove comprising a portion of an arc having a radius in the range of 5½to 6½inches, a depth in the range of ½to 2 inches, and an arc length in the range of at least 180°to 300°, wherein said apparatus at least partially covers the center of gravity of the open end of said bucket.
