Fish cleaning stations along the Missouri River near many of the boat launch areas. They are lighted, have electric for filet knives, spray rinse hoses along with a grinder for the fish scraps.

They really are very nice setups. Never heard a complaint about them. Clean up was never simpler.

Looks nice!

We have those at some of our boat ramps here In Dane county. And most of the ramps on Lake Michigan have those set ups on the WI side..

Used them a lot while staying at the river with my grandparents and they're very nice stations for cleaning fish.

How strong are those grinders? Would they do a whole muskrat? Asking for a friend.

Seen one take a piece out of a steel washer some joke tossed in one once it cooled down. Catfish heads are a problem plugging them up at times. I believe they lose power when heated up.

You guys really have great things going on in SD! My son wants to become a GW in Iowa (idk why), been tryin to convince him to go up to SD!

They have CO openings have him apply.

He's 14, more of a life goal, but thanks for your input! Maybe in a few years, lol, just hope he's happy (and gets me some good hunting/trapping opportunities)

nice !!! we have one here , wish they had more of them around

Better than at home

they have a solenoid valve that dumps a steady flow of cold water on the Lake Michigan ones I have seen to cool the grinders any time they are running they also have a timer on the wall or post you hit the button and it runs for X minutes then you can hit the stop if you want or it will turn off in time

they ask you chuck up the big carcasses

as for heads around Racine if the fishing is good the Asian fellas get word and will hang out around the cleaning station asking for fish heads.

dad got to where he tells them sure , your bag and will just line them up on the cutting board for them . because they don't always bring a bag and dad puts everything in Gallon ziplock freezer bags so you get to giving away a box of the freezer bags in short order and that isn't free.

Greenpete= the start of shark fin soup the carotene boiling those heads

Just used the one at Indian creek for the first time a couple weeks ago. It’s in a nice air conditioned building. Very nice and clean.

Same age as him and I hope in the future to get one of the state trapper positions up here. That way trapping can be my day job.

If I ever were to move to another state, it would be South Dakota.

Those are mighty nice. Shame we can't have them down here. Some dumbarse would invariably trash them. We can't have nice stuff.

one of my dads friend is married to a Korean woman , her mother was getting all the fish heads until my dad found out she was selling them to other Asians

he wanted no part of the selling of game fish parts so once he knew about it she got cut off to just a few here and there.

with WI DNR who knows what their sense of humor would be on that , he didn't want to find out.

had she been giving them to friends it would have been find but , that wouldn't have be very Korean would it.

We have them here in west Michigan. The charter boats seem to have first load use of them though. Draws a large group onlookers when several salmon are being cleaned… dad and I often thought it would be funny to roll up with some pike or gills and start cleaning right along with the charters…..


Surprisingly they stay in decent shape here
