Portable Fish Cleaning System?

At Mille Lacs early this week there was only a short folding table available to clean fish on. One gets a sore back soon filleting fish. Is there a portable, sturdy table/cutting board anyone's aware of that is worth buying?

Yes, it's called an old ironing board you get for $1 at a garage sale. Actually, it works quite well. Just the right height as to not hurt your back from bending over. Simply place a cutting board on top and tie a garbage bag off one end to throw/slide the guts into.

I am 6'5" and this is the greatest idea ever!

Get whatever size plastic folding-leg table you'd like (Menards/Walmart/Costco...), and then measure to what height you'd like. A good height is to the bottom of you elbow when your arm is bent. I'm 5'9", and my elbow height is 3'8" (44"). Get some PVC pipe large enough to slide onto the legs, and cut them to the desired length to prop up the table to the height you'd like. If you are unsure, cut them to be longer than you think you want, and try it out. If it's too high, trim another inch off of each pipe and try again.

I have never thought of an ironing board. That's great.

That is a very good idea. Thanks deerminator!

That is a great idea as well McGurck to get it to just the right height you need. Plus, you can buy those heavy duty resin/plastic folding tables at menards for $20 on sale.

Crm7290, are you talking about my idea to just cut a hole into the floor of your VW rabbit and then install a hole cover versus buying a shelter? laugh

That's what I use deerminator. It works great.
