If Wannabe answers this, disregard his answer. He don't know nuthin bout puttin fesh in the livewell. Try scrubbing with lemon juice. Should remove the stains.
Bleach just rinse it out real good and let the sun hit ti for a few hrs.Quote:

Me and Wannabe never have to clean our livewells....no fish stains at all. :D
in a Fish Basket G
Baking soda does a good job also.
This is just plain ignernt. If you'd carry a bucket with ya, you wouldn't have to poo in your livewell anyhow and you wouldn't have this problem. When you're done, you can just give the bucket to DD and let him pull it until it's rinsed properly.
Wannabe...
I stand corrected. I assumed it was fesh stains. WB is prolly correct on this one. Sounds like he has got experience on this subject. I apologize fer doutin your knowledge.Quote:

When we tournament bass fished that was what we did.
If you gewbers use bleach, make ding dang sure you flush it very good. Bleach is very hard to completely remove and it'll kill the snot out of a fish. Ever get it on your hands and try to wash it off with soap? Takes more than one washing and you won't be able to clean a livewell as well as your hands.
I like the baking soda for stains and scrubbing. But you can also use hydrogen peroxide to clean any biomass left in there. Rinses easier too.

I thought the livewell is where you stored the lil' be's?Quote:
