Stinky Fishy Hands!!

[friendlyfisher]

Just wondering if any of you guys have a special recipe for cleaning your hands after cleaning fish to make them not smell. I have tried everything and my wife still yells at me that I stink. So whats the seceret? ff

[Mike89]

One word: Tooth paste. Ok two words, but it works great. Fast orange works too. Mike

I like Kirks Castile soap with a scrub brush.

[HoleHopper]

Speaking of tooth paste, not to change the subject.

My mother in law is like a walking medicine woman. She has got a remedy for just about anything. Its SCARRY! Anyways One Day while cutting her lawn I got stung by a bee. Hurt like heck! She comes out with tooth paste and tells me to put in on the bite. "Yah right" I exclaimed. JUST DO IT! she says like only a mother in law can. So I did, and low and behold, no more pain! and I mean NOOOOO MORE PAIN!

I no longer question my Mother in law.

I will have to try it for them that there, "FISH HANDS" Thanks

I bought a stainless steel bar of soap called the Wonderbar. It's great for camping or just having on the boat and it takes all the fish smell away, even after fileting northerns.

[Dan Thiem]

I've seen the Wonder Bar and I was wondering, how can that work? I was thinking I should get one but never heard of anyone that had used it. I guess I'll just have to get one now.

[Eric Wettschreck]

Here's what I do. Mix a little suger and water together and rub it on your hands, then wipe your hands on stainless steel. Honest to goodness, stainless steel does the trick.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I was skeptical of the Wonder Bar, too, but bought one for the heck of it. It actually works really well, but I don't know why.

If I plan on being around the wife after I clean a few fish I put on a pair of rubber gloves that I get for gutting my deer. I get a supply from the doc when ever I go see him, I don't even ask anymore he just grabs a handful and hands them over.

personaly i like the smell....well when i want i clean my hands with the orange pumice cleaner it leaves a strong orange smell that usually takes care of it.

[Tubes]

Lemon Juice also work vry well. Just dump some on your hands and scrub like soap.....works!

[Dragonsm]

I second the "wonder bar" option. I received one from my fiance since I love to not only fish, but also love cooking with onions, garlic, peppers...etc.

My first thought was...."Now what the heck did she buy now" and I was a skeptic...but after trying it out once, I am sold on it.

Haven't the foggiest how it works....but it works, and that is all that matters!

I have always taken a small blob of baking soda and then a dab of dishsoap and mix the two togeather in my hands... seems to kill all odors!

[Dan Thiem]

In my younger days I would consider that smell the "smell of success". The northern slime smell would linger for days after I got back from up north. I loved it!

I second the baking soda... Works like a charm!!

[tonyjor]

If you don't have a wonderbar but you have a stainless steel sink in your house, just rub some soap on your hands and "wash" all the sides of the sink along with your hands. That should work also.

I use to use Basic H when I could still get it. Worked good for gas, oil, fish, whatever and it was odorless.

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!! Forget the Heloise and flaunt the fact that you had a better day than everyone else who's smellin' ya!

[protrapper]

I used to use deer hunting odor eliminator soaps, worked good. Now I just use surgeons rubber gloves and throw them away when I'm done. You can get a box of them for cheap at a drug store or Target.

nothing like the slime smell on the beer can afterwards...put some pin-sol and water in a squirt bottle, 5 waters to one pin-sol. Squirt it on your hands and then rinse it off, toothpaste is even easier to have around though.

[The Grebe]

Hey Dan...Our daughter brought one of those things home and it works? I don't know how it works, but it does?

I was making some Scampi and I was messing with some garlic cloves and that little stainless steel bar took the smell away?

My wife uses it but I don't mess with that weird little thing, I stick to the Lava and a washcloth. The Lava must work, my wife never complains and I don't seem to be able to smell anything...the cat sure seems to like me though?

[Wayne Ek]

Tooth paste and liquid lava soap, I keep both in the truck. I clean enough fish each year for my client's and this has worked the best. Tooth paste kills all the smell and the liquid lava in the squirt bottle cleans up the fish grime...

Works great!!!

[Bob/Mn]

The best product I have found for eliminating fish smell from your hands is Green Soap. Most drug stores handle the product.

It also works well to eliminate the human smell before handeling baits.

will any of that stuff work on "hockey hands", you know that stank that is infused into your hands oafter a good workout. it almost smells like rotting Fritos and dead pig!

[friendlyfisher]

Sorry but nothing takes the nasty stink out of old hockey equipment or as you say it "hockey hands". Its there for good. ff
