Default Re: Fish cleaning on board??

its illegal in south carolina, but i use this setup for prepping baits/grinding chum. i mounted a gimbal butt on a 1.5" oak dowel which i cut the top at 22.5' (angle of rear rod holder). then mounted that to a cutting board, making PITA 22.5' hole saw cuts through a few 1x4 blocks. i have a portable chum grinder that i clamp to it, and also cut up bait on it. it would surely work for cleaning fish if you used a big enough cutting board. they sell a similar setup for around $200 at melton tackle, i just hate paying for what i can make. some of my buddies keep big pieces of starboard on their (bigger) boats for this too. lay a wet towel on top and the fish wont go anywhere.
