So, got a question for you guys. I get to fish for an hour or two before work, and often will have one or two keepers. Trouble is, I don't usually have enough time to clean them before work, so I let them go. Is there something a guy could do to keep 'em and clean them later? I don't know, like put them on ice or something and clean them when I get home from work?? Any thoughts would be great. :)

My father-in-law uses a small water trough with a minnow aerator.
Ooh - great idea! Or maybe a 5 gallon bucket and an aquarium pump - I think I have one of those. Lol

Throw them on ice and clean em later, keeps the fresh for a long time.
Gut em, bag em, ice em. I use blue ice every fishing trip - have different sizes and stay froze all day, works for me.
You'd be breaking the law FYIQuote:

Put them on ice. They will do fine

I think I will - ice seems like the way to go.
I am curious what the legal difference is between a live well on a boat and a home made live well that isn't on a boat. Why is one illegal and the other not? I'm only talking about keeping them for 8 hours or so, until I get off work.

I fish often before work .i picked up a decent looking igloo cooler at a yard sale for 3 bucks that's all I use it for
is to take to put fish in cause I don't have time to clean them before work.also instead of spending 2 bucks for ice I freeze milk jugs or 2 liter bottles so you can rinse em off and re use them for several trips but only fill them 3/4 full or they will freeze and bust.:twocents
(b) No person may possess any live fish upon departure from any designated aquatic nuisance body of water, except during a department-permitted fishing tournament. During a department- permitted fishing tournament, any individual may possess live fish upon departure from designated aquatic nuisance waters along the most direct route to the weigh-in site if the individual possesses a department authorization certificate as a participant in the tournament. Designated aquatic nuisance waters shall be those specified in the department’s “Kansas designated aquatic nuisance waters tables,” dated July 13, 2015, which is hereby adopted by reference. So if the water you are fishing is designated you have to clean them there/
Ahhh - that makes sense. Thanks for shedding a little light on it for me. :)
If you catch a couple of keepers before work, how about this, call in sick to work and go back to fishing.
I wish! I would much rather fish than work. LolQuote:

Filleting a couple fish should only take a couple minutes. Fish on ice and filleted later never taste as good IMO.
It may stun the crowd but you could always toss em back if you don't have enough to clean. They're not really hard to catch.
That's what I do now, just looking for ideas if I do decide to keep em. Looks like, if I want to keep em, clean them at the park is really the only legal option.
