    Too many rules you can't help but break one. if you throw them in the water you break the law if you throw them in the ditch you break the law if you clean them at home and stink up the garbage your wife gets mad at ya. I have been there done that.

    I have 2 different crews that make house calls. I usually dump the parts in the pasture in front of my house. The night crew (coyotes) , come by that same night and do the initial clean up. Whats left is finished off by the day crew, the turkey vultures. Just a few bones and some dried skins are left. Xring tried out a new method, giving them to his x wife, but that didn't work out too well.
    It ain't nuttin but luck.

    If you read the reg, it says "while fishing"... you are not fishing after the boat is our or you're at the cleaning station.
    The best way to get to where you want to be in the future is to act like you are there TODAY.

    At the lakes and waters that have cleaning stations, what happens when you push the carcasses into the chute? I know they're ground up, but where to they go from there?

    Well on the OK lakes they want you to throw everything back into the lake. Other states are different though. Turtles and other scavenger fish will clean it up but it does make a mess in the water. I always toss them out in the woods somewhere so the coons, buzzards, crows, coyotes, ect. may feast on them.

    Depends on the state I suppose, but normally I would expect the ground remains to go into a holding tank or pit that gets pumped our regularly, probably with a disinfectant to keep down the smell like the port-a-let toilets perhaps even the same sort of company. What they do with it after that I have no idea.

    If that is the case there should be a record of pump-out services posted somewhere publicly in the cleaning station along with the name of the company that provides the service.

    In most states fishing cleaning remains are considered raw sewage. Where I fish, mainly in metro city parks, casual discard of cleaning remains is definitely frowned upon by nearly everyone, of course.
