Fly the Team Iceshanty Flag! Iceshanty Proshop
Read my earlier post about the measures I take to leave no trace of fish waste. Since I have done this dozens of times now and nothing was ever said, the motel does not even know that I did this
Lol. Same here. But either I've gotten better at cleaning up or she just got used to it. Sidenote: When I did scale fish ( mostly pannies) I would put a few inches of water in the sink and scale them underwater. Kept them from flying all over the place.
ever notice no matter how good it looks they find a scale or you clean everything looks great the sink drys and scales appear loli clean out in the shed now or outside
I find jumbo perch armor is the main culprit
so your saying as long as you don't get caught it's ok to do something you know the owner would not allow?? i just want to understand what your saying here......
I don't know if it is allowed or not, and I don't ask. They probably never thought to put it in their rules, as they do with smoking. The reason smoking is prohibited in motels, and they can charge you a stiff cleaning fee if you violate this, is due to the unmistakable smoke smell that is left behind. If my fish cleaning leaves no signs whatsoever that it ever happened, I have not done anything to harm the establishment, and therefore I do not feel like I am doing anything wrong.
i never read that i couldn't milk a cow in my room or park my motorcycle inside during the rain ....... so i guess its ok huh?
I don't scale anything - too much work - too much mess - Fillet it off and it's gone. Don't care a whole lot for the skin anyway. As for the motel room, well I did it once on the Maryland shore with some Drum in the bathtub. I felt guilty as hell and never did that again. I guess if I rent a room I don't want to find a mess, so I won't do anything that I don't want to find for myself. As for home, I do it in the yard over a pair of saw horses in the summer. Winter time it is done in the garage with the wood stove working. I have a seasonal water supply and sink out there that works for me. This all works if I don't do it on the ice
naaa it's not right no matter what and i know that....see when i rent a room i feel i have been intrusted to act as a gentleman and respect the mans property and wishes ice is right you should be man enough to ask ......this is a moral issue not just how clean you are .......you drop a bucket of fish guts on a carpet and that room might not be able to be rented for days not to mention the cleaning ...the fees mean nothing what if the man can't get someone to clean it? thats messing with a mans property and peoples living ..... all over a fish? i ain't going to do that throw em in the cooler with ice i fished all day i want a hot shower cold beer and the tv on
boggy put on a nice get together on sandy pond we should clean and fry up some perch next time for everyone to enjoy .....
