I live in town and have one heck of a time with my fish wast. I have a lot of walker that come by my trash cans with a turn up noses. I had a man tell me to put the wast in my fridge to trash day. There no way I keep a 5 gal bucket in my fridge for a week. what do you do with your wast?
I generally feed the turtles in a ditch some where. I live where I can drive a couple of miles and throw them in a ditch or fence line. The turtles and coyotes love me :biggrin
GOT a stand alone freezer in my garage and that's exactly what i do. put the guts in a trash bag, put em in the freezer and on friday morning put it in the can outside. frankly, don't really blame your neighbors for complaining if you put thaat many in there especially in hot weather. i fish sardis lake mostly and they now have cleaning stations that are nice.
Bury it in the garden or compost pile, if you have one.
Like kent said... Just drive outta town and hit a ditch
An old man in a blue jumpsuit kept giving me crappie waste. I buried it. It grows good tomatoes. Gonna try to trade the tomatoes for some fillets next summer.
We did have a problem with people parking out on the corner of our lot and doing what ever people do that park on a gravel road out in the country. Carol said I needed to dump all those buckets of fish waste out by the corner. You know, after a couple 5 gallon buckets, all the parkers just moved on. Of course you did need to hold your breath when mowing out that direction.
If you got that many your fishing too much! :Rofl Freeze them and next trip return them to the lake.:twocents
I return them to the lake
Where I live . I feed the coyotes. Done last long. Spend slot of time in Miss. Cleaning stations are NICE!

Bury em
Back in the water where they come from is my motto.
RCC, you wearing a blue jump suit now? I seem to remember your dad always wearing one. However, now that I think about it, didn't he always wear overalls in the 70's., seems like that was what he was wearing when he put the addition on the side of Mom and Dad's house. Oh, and I like Carol's idea, guess people have no decency anymore, seems like the least they could do would be to head a few more miles out of town. Since so many have moved out your way, it like you live in town now rather than in the country.Quote:

Once you get all them river fish caught, give me a hollar and we'll go work on the lake fish.
Thanks RCC, will have to do that. But back on the topic of the thread, depends on where I clean the fish at. If I clean them at my dad's house, I put them in a bucket and feed the turtles on the way home. If I clean them at home, I wait until after dark, and then walk down the street to the neighbor that pissed me off most recently, and put them in his trash can. If no one has pissed me off recently, I put them in my trash can and ask all the neighbors if they know who the jerk is that put the fish guts in my trash can. That actually worked a few times, but they finally figured it out, so now I just put them in my trash can and blame my son.
Buzzard bait if the crows don't beat them to it. Late evening cleanings and the coons feast. Buzzards generally start circling when they see me pull the boat up. Everything gone in a short time. Big carcasses like flatheads go back into the woods. Even there, they don't last long enough to draw flies.rotfl
I live out of town, I go to the nearest bean field (0.5 miles), and feed the wild critters.
Ive got to move :biggrin I been telling my wife that for 4 years now. That like beating a dead horse:deadhorse I see I'm going to have to get me a bucket to putt them in to I can get back to the water.
Should have just put up a web cam and pay-per-viewed it!.......mine go back in the woods for the critters.Quote:

I catch people "reading and studying" on their lunch break here in the Port's industrial park occasionally. Anatomy me thinks.Quote:
