That's a great idea. And funny as hell. Thanks it's kinda out of my way but we'll worth it.

Crystal pier is closer. There might be one there.

Don't think so but shelter is not that far out of my way. Is there one at lake murry?

There was one, but maybe shut down due to drought.

Also unless you stay there, you must leave the pier at dusk.

A portable small table or a cleaning station (table) from Cabela's or BPS as well as a bucket and rope can allow to clean fish at any pier.

If its the rotting carcass causing a stench try throwing the discards in a bucket. Then fill it with hot or boiling water to cook it, then throw it in the trash. No maggots, less flies, happier neighbors.

I try to keep the carcasses in an ice chest (with ice) until trash day, seems to cut down on the smell and the flies a lot.

I believe there is a fish cleaning station at the south boat ramp located near sea world. As mentioned, dig a hole and put em in the ground. Just dig deep enough so critters don't get to it, but its excellent fertilizer. Used to work at a nursery in Arcata, CA and after Salmon fishing my boss and I would place all remains near his prize winning trees. He swore by it.

Buy some fruit trees and use the guts and carcasses as fertilizer. It cuts down on trash to the land fill and all the stink from rotting fish. Win, win IMO.

Drove by the South boat ramp by SeaWorld. Posted... no fish cleaning at what appeared to be the fish cleaning area... So I guess.. Nope.
