Thread: What do you do with the keepers, live well or on ice

Since I don't have a livewell, ice.

There used to be one at Tachville in the camp ground.But i havent looked for it in years.

As for the lower lake fish cleaning station, Wyatts is much closer. The coe is building one at teckville. Right now all they have is a bare patch of ground. Maybe by next year.

don't mean to hi jack but what are the building on the north side of the rest rooms on e.p.???

Fish cleaning station. Like the one at the lower lake.

On ice as soon as I get em in the boat. I don't like to clean live fish either, and I believe the really cold ones fillet better.

Ice!!

I always put them on ice and keep the melted "water" in there because it's nice and cold and surrounds the fish well. On my way home I stop and buy another bag of ice, drain the water, and cover with the rest of the ice. I clean them that night or the next. They will be nice and firm and easy to fillet! Hope this helps

Ice, they'll turn mushy if they get to hot. Crappie are a delicate fish
