Bernie Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I rub my hands on the stainless steel sink in the kitchen. I find it works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Why??? I've never worried about it. Beats some other household odours Takes about a week to get rid of the cucumber smell after cleaning a couple thousand smelts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishindevil Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 WD-40 works well and is also used as a fish attractant !!! So you will have both .... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 There is a product called NokOut, that I have been using for years for hunting and fishing, it doesn't cover the scent, it eliminates it. Works on anything, I won't go into a big long explanation but ask any of the guys I have introduced it to. http://www.nokout.com/home.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yup, big Cliff is right. I have since gone out and stocked up on NokOut after my test supply and its a very good product for many odors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherpete Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 lye, or any type of corrosive acid. This, or you could just enlist the help of King Arthur. The Black Knight had no issues with fishy smell on his hands (or feet) after their encounter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manjo39 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Also had this problem. Most effective for me was the following: You need something gritty to get the smell off. If I am fishing a river/creek, reach into the river grab some gritty dirt off the bottom and rub all over your hands. Rinse with water and the smell is gone. If I am fishing in a boat and no access to gritty dirt, then a hand cleaner with pumice works. Canadian tire has Gojo with pumice or they have their own brand hand cleaner with pumice. No more smell at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh grounds straight from the can. Powerful enough to even mask the smell of raw chicken flesh and blood that builds up in a reefer trailer.. We would spread a 1lb block inside a reefer trailer before loading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxie Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Fish smell while fishing. Tough call. I do notice that if I don't go fishing that fish smell doesn't come into play at all. Maybe its just me but getting that fish smell on me is one of the main reasons I go fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NANUK Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Another vote for WORX hand cleaner, leaves absolutely no smell on your hands it is biodegradable and Canadian made, comes in powder form so does not freez in cold weather.

Old Ironmaker Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 In all seriousness for a second, lemon juice. Simple. The acid in the juice breaks down the proteins of the fish slime. Most of the hand sanitizers out there mask the scent and the ones that work have an acidic base to them. Some outings I only wish I had fish smelling problems. It's the smell of victory. Unless the minnows have had rigor set in and left in the baitwell to ripen I've never found them to have any odor. Dead bait in the sun, that's a smell you don't want. I've forgotten where I am sometimes and after I've caught them, cleaned them, cooked them and served them I'm told to go and wash my hands I smell like fish, I guess so. The eatin part's easy peezy.

Garnet Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Table salt and dish soap works great and readily available. In the boat fish smells make me happy. The more fish smell the happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
