Fishy fingers

Go to your nearest tackle store. There are many types of fish smell removing hand soaps and wipes. At FCO we have at least 4 options.

There is even a soap that will lather in salt water so you can wash up at sea.

Well your a silly enough bugger to believe spottys are a good eating fish.

I didn't think, I experimented... at least then I'll know from experience

Put your bike gloves on and go for a long ride.

Eating spottys.......

heh... well I was told that I could go fushun tomorrow. Wonder how I can strap the rod to the Prila (after I've put the forks back in... sorry D & D, still not done)

Aye... I'll be giving that a shot tomorrow as I need more weights.

If this doesn't work, move back to the next row of knuckles and try again.

bwaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa... although bit concerned how I'm gonna tie the hook, let alone bait it, then cast the line?

Mind you, he didn't say enjoyed and the missus didn't get the aftertaste. I'll remind her of that later. I was just eyeing the WD-40 though.

Whoever it was had probably eaten a small Rig thinking it was a spottie
Gotta chase them after dark (down here anyway) especially in the wee AM hrs, 4-5ft long fish isn't uncommon

Can't even use the shitty bloody things for bait...other fish don't even like them

This is all ambulance at the bottom of the cliff stuff If you don't mind looking a bit of a softie, wear latex gloves when you bait up. Simple! Or take some wet-wipes of some sort and clean up as you go. Both solutions work a treat.

Isn't uncommon? 5ft Spotty? Is one jigging my line per chance . Must have some set of gnashers.

Was sort of thinking about some form of glove as I really don't mind looking like a poosay in the slightest. Will mull things over whilst sleeping as it looks as though we're ALL going fishing tomorrow

5ft Rig ha gnashers are naff all a Salmon with river jaw has a worse set to deal with

Decent surf gear (14-16ft rod) or a long line kontiki raft at night of the beach isn't a problem to get Rig (most are 3-4ft), Elephant fish when in season, used to be able to get Groper (Hapuka for you northern types) late July- August not so long ago, seven gill sharks if your gear is heavy enough

A nail brush, soap & cold water will do it. Well, will do a good job, depends how good your soap is.
Hot water sets the proteins in the goo on your hands & sticks like shit to the blanket. It also stimulates bacteria which does not help the whiff. Scrub em up like a surgeon.
All the above is conjecture but it works for me & my chopping boards. I know that if I wash a raw produce board in hot water it will smell, not so with cold.
Table salt will do it, too. Again, cold water, salt on wet hands & rub thoroughly, rinse. Moisturise.

I've heard from a Michelin Star Ex pat French chef that spotties are the closest thing he has found to the Mediterranean Racasse to make stock for Bouillabaisse. True story, he is a keen rock fisherman.
Unless you mean spottie dogs which are sharks. Diced and added to the soup at it's finish.

fuck that would be a bit of fun!! pulling in bronzies on 20kg gear is enough of a workout

[husaberg]

Silly potato
You have to sweat out the smell, cause it goes into the Paws

Not really, their just an oversized version of a rig. A Bronzie would have way more balls in putting up a fight.
Use to use mainly just 12kg main line with 25kg shock leader and the business end was a sliding rig with a 6oz weight & 40cm steel trace.
And on a raft set-up it's pretty much a dead haul bringing anything in

Far prefer chasing Salmon, more of a challenge, requires more skill, and decent fish are proper battlers

It does when yer gutting it, scaling it and preparing it for the family.

That's women's work ... leave well alone ...
