sneak_e_pete Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Gotta admit...fish smell on my hands grosses me out...especially when using minnows....to the point I cant eat anything with my hands. Any tricks to remove the smell? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) I keep one of those stainless steel things shaped like a bar of soap in my boat. Just rub it all over your damp hands. It makes a difference. I have one in the kitchen too and it works great on odours like onion. I wouldn't say it's 100%, but it's worth a try.

misfish Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 There use to be a puck on the market for this. Just rub your hands with it like a bar of soap. The name of it escapes me. Some have even used the kitchen tap at home when done cleaning their catch. As for me,I just use a towel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassjnkie Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I use that stainless steel bar of soap looking thing..LOL It actually works really well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherpete Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Stainless steel bar works well, I keep one in the boat. If you are trying to get the smell off your hands once home just scrub the bathroom sink with a cream cleanser like Vim and the fish smell is all but gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 A bit of lemon juice in a bottle of hand sanitizer should have you fishing and eating in no time. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck2fan Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Dollarama sells the stainless pucks for taking odors off your hands. If you can't find one there don't pay 10 bucks for a Berkley one at a fishing store, just nick an old stainless spoon from the kitchen had throw it in your tackle will do the exact same thing. Although the missus might squawk about the spoon LOL. If you stream fishing in better weather just grab a hand full of wild clover and rub your hands with that then rinse in in the creek. Although I would be more worried about the smell from some rivers than a little minnow juice on my hands though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Personally I found fried chicken removes anything from your hands. No matter what it is grease, oil, ink no problem 2 pieces and clean as a whistle. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the stainless bar too most of the time to answer the OP question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msp Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 maybe take up golf? Ha ! Try having 2 months worth of roe goo attached to your hands. eventually you just end up giving up on trying to get rid of the smell and just live with it.
