I clean them in my kitchen. Sure is nice to get out of the heat.

Last summer, I made the mistake of dumping a limit of sandbass carcasses in my trash cans the day after trash day. Talk about stink. Since then, freezing the remains until trash day is a must.

When I lived in town I'd take them to the creek at the golf course and feed the turtles. Now that I live out of town I have tow ponds on my place and still feed the turtles.

When in town and people would see me dumping a 5 gal bucket of stuff in the creek I got some looks and was approached by a few concerned. Once I explained what I was doing all was good.

Back in the 80'S, I would clean at my apartment and then put the guts in a paper bag and deposit in the trash can at the front door of the 7/11 on the corner. They had a really rude staff. Probable shouldn't have gone to their level.
Now, I clean on the truck tailgate and return the carcasses to the lake. Clean a lot of cats at times and end up with a lot of mass to dispose of.

I never know where I will be cleaning.

Put some brown paper bags inside 4-6 plastic bags and you won't have rips or punctures. Paper bags hold the plastic open also.

My wife just looked at this post. She said keep getting rid of them where you have been. I clean fish at home an then double plastic bag them and go a gas station and get some gas and throw them out.

Depends on how my shop guy has been treating me. If I have to stay late to close the shop on Friday, he gets to smell the rotting fish in the dumpster the whole next week.

I like the ironing board idea. Have an old one I was about to haul to Goodwill, think I'll convert it. Currently using a cutting board on a wooden patio table.

I like it because you can adjust the height. If my back is bothering me, I can lower it, sit down, and filet away!
