I use the one on the Shelter Island fishing pier when I come back in from power boating but it is a ways from LJ. There is a bar on the pier so you can drink and fillet. Pier fisherman will come up and say "Holy Smokes! Where did you catch that?". Oh you know, I caught it on the other end of the pier from where you are fishing. And then they all run down to that end and start fishing there .

I cant think of a public station besides shelter island. There maybe one at the little pier off 24th street in national city. Cleaning fish at your house sucks. In your house is worse. Maybe dump the carcasses in a dumpster or trash can in a park that gets dumped every day. I made a cutting area way in the back of my yard with some ply wood, saw horses, and 2x4s. Works well and only the fillets enter the house. Mike

Gut and gill them on the water. You'll still have the head and spine tho.
I dig a deep hole in the yard near a tree or use the dumpster only if it close to trash dumping day. |

There was one, but maybe shut down due to drought.
Also unless you stay there, you must leave the pier at dusk. A portable small table or a cleaning station (table) from Cabela's or BPS as well as a bucket and rope can allow to clean fish at any pier. |

If its the rotting carcass causing a stench try throwing the discards in a bucket. Then fill it with hot or boiling water to cook it, then throw it in the trash. No maggots, less flies, happier neighbors.

I try to keep the carcasses in an ice chest (with ice) until trash day, seems to cut down on the smell and the flies a lot.

I believe there is a fish cleaning station at the south boat ramp located near sea world. As mentioned, dig a hole and put em in the ground. Just dig deep enough so critters don't get to it, but its excellent fertilizer. Used to work at a nursery in Arcata, CA and after Salmon fishing my boss and I would place all remains near his prize winning trees. He swore by it.

Buy some fruit trees and use the guts and carcasses as fertilizer. It cuts down on trash to the land fill and all the stink from rotting fish. Win, win IMO.

I cut up the fish in the street at the front of my house. The carcass and other bigger items get tossed into a big trash bad. Then I take those to the dumpster behind one of my favorite Mexican restaurant. All the blood and little pieces get hosed down the gutter to the end of the street and into the storm drain. So far no one has complained so I keep doing it

Just don't put it too close to the window as the hot sun will still bake the soil and makes the smell unbearable when the wind thru. |

Do all your cleaning and gutting, place the remains in a plastic trash bag and drive it to the closest public trash can. Some places have dumpsters that you can use, but if it's public, you can use it.
