Throw the fish in a garbage bag soon as or shortly after you catch them (will keep them from freezing up)....wear a pair of the CHEAP gloves with rubber palms and fingers (usually sold with a couple pairs in a pack) that will keep fingers from freezing while cleaning the COLD fish. Once done throw the gloves away or just wash them like your washing your hands, rinse a couple times and let dry and your good to go. As far as places to clean...well hotel rooms work decent but requires heavy cleaning to get rid of the evidence(more than the typical cleaning lady does). I started cleaning mine in the covered trailer soon as we get back to the lot before we load the machines. 4' folding table, couple trash bags for the scrap and a buddy heater and last but not least a couple people cleaning and a guy or 2 helping get the scrap in the trash bags Well clean 20-30 fish in 20 minutes or so and have the rest of the evening to relax and no more work once you get home other than rinse the meat and rebag
