And then they all run down to that end and start fishing there .

Too funny. I cleaned a dozen yellowfin last year on the pier with the same comments. I was nicer than you, though, and told them I caught them surf fishing in OB.......not. Fish cleaning station is awesome. Even lit at nite. Totally clean and really a super place to clean fish. I am in Vista so does not work for me. Would like to hear from others who know of a place for us north county yakkers.

I cant think of a public station besides shelter island. There maybe one at the little pier off 24th street in national city. Cleaning fish at your house sucks. In your house is worse. Maybe dump the carcasses in a dumpster or trash can in a park that gets dumped every day. I made a cutting area way in the back of my yard with some ply wood, saw horses, and 2x4s. Works well and only the fillets enter the house. Mike

Gut and gill them on the water. You'll still have the head and spine tho.

I dig a deep hole in the yard near a tree or use the dumpster only if it close to trash dumping day.

Brilliant idea! Why didn't I think of that. Problem solved!

Wish I did that last time. I double bagged the carcass but it sat 4 days in over 100 degree heat. My trash can has never been the same since and my gf will not go near it ever again!

Get a bucket of strong pine-sol solution and pour it into the can, getting as much of the can sides as possible, and let it sit til trash day.

Thanks Hunters Pa I'll give that a try

I even tried bleach and hosing it down and that didn't work
