Fish Cleaning Tables
Fish cleaning tables, typically found as part of marina fish cleaning stations, are a welcome site at the end of a great day of fishing on many lakes and reservoirs. The beauty of these tables is they place a surface for cleaning your fish at a height that lets you complete the task without bending over. You often will find electricity and running water to make your task easier. These tables provide a firm surface on which is placed a fillet board. This surface height makes it comfortable, quicker, safer and easier.
Also available are optional tables that allow you to have these same advantages at home, at your dock or even on your boat. Ask yourself these questions to help determine what you may look for: Where do you normally clean your fish? Where would you actually prefer to clean your? Would a portable option be appealing? Do you own a dock or slip, and would you like a cleaning table mounted along side where you store your boat? Explore these options and more on this page.
