Looks like it might be a great weekend for fishing.
I have always cleaned all of my own fish (that's why you don't see #'s @ cleaners from me in my reports), but I have been thinking of hitting a cleaner when we have 2+ limits of perch.
Anyone know of a good cleaner near Mazuriks? My major concern is that they have to be done while I wait as I don't want to run an hour back up there the next day to pick them up.
Bomba's is 1/4 mile from the ramp. They open at 1 PM. Be there first and it will take no more than 1 hour. If you do not get there then it will be just like every other cleaner. A lot of perch to clean
Bombas is just up the road toward Rt 163 and would be on the left returning to 163. I used them for years while docking at Tibbles on East Harbor. Here is there address Bombas Fish Cleaning , 8640 E Northshore Boulevard Lakeside, OH 43440-1129, This is the phone number that I have (419) 798-4189.Quote:

There is also one on 269 just south of 163 by the cop shop (Danbury) boytom's is the name I think and they stay open late on Sunday One dollar per pound.
Have you used them recently? Just curious if there service has improved. Last time my son-in-law and I used them (2012) the fillet job was awful. They left a lot of the meat on the carcass. The place was filthy.Quote:

That is good to hear, glad they got their act together, then again maybe we were just there on a bad day or they had new cutters. I will pas on your report so others know. I think all fish cleaning places smell.Quote:

A couple of weeks ago we waited over 2 hours and this last weekend the lady told us 2 hours and turned into being a 3 1/2 hour wait. They are not very fast for as many people they have there cleaning fish. like my wife says, if I don't want to wait to clean them myself.
The best I have found is Bays Edge 5359 Bayshore Road Port Clinton Phone 419-732-9960 or Marine Channel 19 do a good job
Bays Edge does an excellent job...not sure about the wait because I always pick up the day after
Thanks for the info guys. I am sure that some day I will put it to use. You know, some day when I decide "I don't feel like cleaning fish, I feel like having a beer and waiting for my fish to get cleaned." Hmmm... which ones of those on the list have a decent watering-hole nearby? :D
Took our perch Sunday to bombay and was always happy with them....not so much this time!!!! They were butchered up terribly!!!! Many looked like they had been chewed on to cut them and half the meat was left on the carcass ;( Maybe they were training someone new....Idk??? Whoops....meant Bombas not Bombay!!
B can , I do know a little somethin about waterin holes.....Cleats on 163 by Skipper Buds is a good stop. Also Bayside Tavern on 269 and 6. Both have good food and drinks.
yeah, bombas sucks. Take em to bays edge fish cleaning. Its right there close to the monsoon lagoon waterpark. Kinda by that i think its a marathon gas station. They do a very nice job.
Not sure where you guys are looking, but Capt. Dave from happy Hooker bait suggested Cutchers 8480 Leutz Rd. Oak Harbor. 419-250-2090.
We are gonna try them Sunday.
Another one is Butch and Denny's Bait. Curtice Ohio 419-836-7351.
They may also be an option. Open 6AM to 9PM daily.
Bays Edge has been cleaning my Perch and Walleye for several years and I won't take them anywhere else. I 've watched them clean fish and they never waste any meat. I've tried several other but now only go to Bays Edge.
They also have great condos for rent and offer charters if you don't have a boat. First class outfit for sure.
I second that motion. Bays edge is the best fish cleaner in the area hands down. No bones about it.
