Fish Guts

[Fishnnut]

What do you guys do with your fish guts?
For some reason I go fishing on garbage day so the fish guts are sitting around all week. This past week I triple bagged them and they still smell horable after a few days. :sick: Not to mention the lovely liquid in the bottom of the can and all of the little white critters in the bottom. :yikes:
:idea: I was thinking of putting them in a comercial garbage can but they might not like me to much :evilsmile

[kbkrause]

I throw them in the freezer till trash day.

[Radar420]

We bury them in a compost pile.

[Indybleck]

That's what we so throw them in the freezer till trash day.

[Fishnnut]

Good idea.:dizzy: Why did'nt I think of that.:banghead3

[KI Jim]

Ran out of freezer space last week :D

There's always the local Parrrrty Storrr Dumpster....LOL

[Ninja]

Please don't throw them in someone's dumpster.
It happens here all the time, and creates a big mess, problems with animals, etc.
The yard waste I find in my dumpster is real fun too.
It costs me an extra $45 each time someone decides to fill up my dumpster.

It really is a burden for small business owners.

[E Man]

Take em to work and throw em out.

[Rencoho]

Been burying mine in my garden for the past 16 years, I get great tomatoes.

[Shoeman]

Take em to work and throw em out.

That's what I do. Ours gets picked up 3 times a week. Perfect!

While we're on the subject of fish guts....just curious, what happens to the fish carcasses when we throw them in the grinder at cleaning stations? Do they flush em back out to the lake or feed the coons with them?

[andy capp]

I think they just pump it into the lake

[sfw1960]

We have 10 Acres , so I usually heave 'em at the edge of our woods - Coons & Opossums gotta eat too , and it can't always be .22Cal 36Grn. Hollow Points!
:evilsmile

[StClairMuskrat]

Bring em over here or have neil bring em :lol: I feed em to the critters out back also put em in the garden. There is a coon as big as our dog out back. Hes been there since he was a lil coon. All the winter perch guts got him big and fat Hes a hog now. As long as i keep em fed they dont get into my garbage or garden.

[salmonslammer]

them in the grinder at cleaning stations?


I asked the guy at sterling that and he said that a catfood company buys the slurry.

Don't know if it's true or not....

NO worries, I won't dump them. Thats why I been dealing with the smell.
I have a huge deep freeezer and can put them there.

E-man
I don't think anyone would like them here at work. I work in a office and the people in the lunch room would no it's me.:lol: :lol:

Muscrat I give them to Rodney for you.

Hopefully I will have 6 carcases to worrie about after tonight.
Anyone no if the Algonac launch is closed today?

[wally-eye]

Fish guts??????? Not this year. Bad luck this year...........although I have fished with sfw1960 and shametamer this year and I'm thinking this might have something to do with it..............:evil:

[sailfish]

I throw them in the freezer till trash day.

:yeahthat: :yeahthat: Me too.

[tgafish]

they go back in the lake:hide:

[retireeatlarge]

don't throw them back into the lake. it is Illegal. i know i live on a canal and have been throwing

guts back in the water. one of my lovely nieghbors

called thr dnr on me instead of talking to me first.
i got a visit from the dnr.he was nice about it and only gave

me a warning. so now its back to freezing them

[Ed Michrina]

Its simple. I have a large freezer but that is for food and couldn't keep up with the guts. You bring your fish home in a cooler on ice right? Clean the fish place in a g-bag and throw them back in the cooler sealed G-bag with the old ice. if you have a few days to wait, refresh with a bucket of your frig/freezer ice maker. Keep the drain open and they can keep smelling good for the whole week. I also take mine to the City dumpster or dep. of public works.

On your smelly cooler. fill with water dump a cup of bleach, close top and let it sit a day. drain rinse and you have a fresh cooler.

3 coolers keep my fish happy and fish guts fresh.

[Houghton laker]

Working for a municipality has it's perks!! I take mine into work daily and toss them in one of the several garbage trucks!;)

[Cpt.Chaos]

I would like to package mine and send them to PETA, but I'm sure the post office wouldn't appreciate it! Freeze 'em and dump 'em like the rest.

[alex-v]

Bury them in the garden. I have a system to that by the end of the year I will have dug up the entire thing.

On your smelly cooler. fill with water dump a cup of bleach, close top and let it sit a day. drain rinse and you have a fresh cooler.
Occasionally, after going through the same procedure we will let a 1/4 cup of vinegar sit in the cooler.

Ice is the key. Keep the fish cold and they will not go bad before you get home. Can't understand people with Walleye or other fish on a stringer alongside their boat when the surface water temp is at its summer time levels. They get home and are tired so they clean the fish later or even the next day and say "they tasted fishy".

Yet these same people will not take a fish that they know was recently caught but was sitting on the lawn in the shade for a 1/2 hour because it was not taken care of properly.

I grind everything but the skins in the garbage disposal. I tried griding the skins, but they are like leather and don't grind up very well. I roll the skins in newspaper and freeze them until I take the trash to the dump.

[MUSHY1]

Been burying mine in my garden for the past 16 years, I get great tomatoes.

:yeahthat: :yeahthat: But now that the garden is planted, its hard to find a place to dig. So, a freind gave me Another small chest freezzer, so i freeze them and if i remember, i put them out garbage day frozen......

If you have a yard burry them for sure. It will help your garden or patch of grass that just won't grow.

[Michigander1]

Ran out of freezer space last week :D

There's always the local Parrrrty Storrr Dumpster....LOLThat or the local arab gas station ;)

[Ed Michrina]

Drop them in the Ming ping wok restaurant dumpster. They will probably quickly retrieve it and thank you .. you might even get a fortune cookie.
