    Default Pro Tip: Fish Cleaning When Traveling

    My bro-in-law and I caught a big mess of crappies in Lake Weiss yesterday and didn't get in until late. I picked out 4 that were nice enough to filet and iced them down. I was gonna filet them when I got home. Traffic was bad so I stopped to pee at a nice gas station this side of Atlanta. I topped the tank off then went in to pee. That's when I saw they had a really neat fish cleaning station in the men's room. I went back out to the truck, got my filet knife and grabbed the bag with the fish out of the ice chest.

    Went back in and sure enough they had a really nice filet board. It folding down off the wall and it even had a little "seat belt" thing to hold bigger fish for you. I didn't need it for the crappies. I commenced to filet out the fish and several men that came in looked at me like I was crazy. One guy even stood there and watched for a while until I turned around and said, "You ain't never seen a man filet a fish?" He looked at my filet knife and left in a hurry. I hate city slickers! But all that aside it was a nice cleaning station. The only thing missing was a hose to wash of the board. I had to carry handfuls of water from the sink to wash it off and then dry it with paper towels. When I closed it back up it said "Changing Station" on the bottom. I guess that's what Georgia city folk call a fish cleaning station? It worked perfect though. So if you ever got a mess of fish to clean and you have a ways to go find one of them fancy bathrooms and they got a place to do it.

    fish cleaning facilities are becoming harder and harder to come by these days.

    Well, I don't either. But you have found the end of the interweb at least 3 different times, I'm sure you could figure it out!

    So that's what those chrome hooks on the back of toilet stall doors are for. A place to hang your squirrels when you're skinning them. I always wonder why they were there. Thanks for the heads up.
