#1 Keep your fingernails trimmed
#2 Have a clean water bucket nearby when fishing to rinse your hands as you go.
#3 Use a bait rag to rinse and wipe (your hands) as you go.
#4 Wash your hands in regular soap n freshwater (don't be a wally and use soap in the saltwater) before driving home
#5 Alcohol gel during the drive home
#5 Give the hands (mostly the nails) a scrubbing with toothpaste and an old toothbrush when you get home (don't use the missus's brush, she gets upset, and you will be sleeping outside that night)
OR...as one fellow said... wear some gloves.
I have seen some folks at the piers wearing what look like black surgical gloves but I am not certain where to purchase them. I'd be keen to give them a try if they did not compromise the touch sense during fishing. Does anyone use those black gloves?

Re: smelly hands
If your concern is the smell AFTER the fishing session, I spray windex on my hands then wipe them clean with a towel. I read somewhere that you don’t want the ammonia free windex because the ammonia breaks down the “fish slime”. Works for me and costs bugger all

But surprisingly (not because I'm of Greek heritage) Windex does have a lot of applications especially as a general purpose cleaner

Interesting. Lemon juice seems to be the go.
Might give it a try next time!
Cheers :thumbsup:
I am used to using my hand-cleaner , , , , being a Tradie, it is an almost daily routine
BUT
Lemon is a great cleaner for getting the smell out of fishy hands.
Also, scrubbing the Filleting/Chopping board, lemon works wonders too.
In fact, lemon is like Magic Juice
