I had my fish freezer die that week of 30+ C days last month and I didnt get to clean it until the Saturday (it died on the tuesday).
OMG................ rotting bait smell was all wrong. The toothpaste help clean the smell thank God.

I find that having a rag on hand while fishing helps. Wipe off the pillie guts before it dries on. Then old toothbrush and soap when you get home.

I personally dont mind the fishy smell too much, I keep wet wipes or lemon with me and use that just before I would eat or when im leaving but at home I use morning fresh :)

This is a common problem. You can use whatever you like. Decreaser lemon soap scrubbing brush etc. The secret is cold water. never use hot water it opens up the pours of your skin and that why they smell. Its the same with onions. The secret is cold water.
Try it and let me know.

Lemon Juice.

Works a treat for most things salt water baits.

No good for garden worms though.

Wear the smell with pride on a good day where you caught fish. On a bad day masl the smell before you are even home...
