    Default Rocket Fish Cleaners?


    I see alot of posting about catching crappie and showing pictures of bucket fulls of crappie. Am I the only one here that uses a Rocket fish cleaner? You pull it behind your boat to clean the fish and when you get home the fish are already cleaned. I searched the internet last nite looking for them but had no luck. Anyopne know where to look?

    Yea! Here they are. I can't believe the price though. My wife bought mine way back when they sold for $25. Talking about getting some strange looks when cleaning fish...:D

    Throw in some shad, 60mph to your honey hole, and you got a chum line right to ya, hehehe. Just kidding, I don't remember ever seeing one of those contraptions. I fillet my crappie and keep a old semi sharpened spoon to scale the gills.

    In the very early 70's we used to fish under the Penelton bridge on Toledo Bend. When we returned to the campground we would stop at a floating marina and clean the fish. We just cut the heads off, threw them in a giant front loading washing machine, put in a quarter and in a few minutes they where scaled and clean. No slim, no scales in your hair.
    I still like to have a few scaled, whole ones to eat but I cut a cross on each side to make em cruchy and easier to eat.

    How many fish can you put in that rocket at a time???? Don
