Anyone use anything special or homemade? I've tried everything under the sun and still can't get rid of the fish smell off my hands.

Agreed~!,   the best is when you go fishing in the morning, land some fish, then after a long hot day at work, you get back in your car and it smells like spadina!  THATs the smell of victory my friends.  Fermenting Fish slime on the cork, or net...w/e

Mayonnaise, works for fish, grease, adhesive, oil whatever.

 

Just the regular mayo- not the low fat, not the olive oil one. 

 

I went to costco and have a gallon on hand at all times. Im always wrenching on one of our cars, boats, atv or around the house. Mayo gets everything off even spray paint.

Lemon juice does wonders for any smell on your hands. Use a bit of it instead of water if it's readily available. 

 

Good to know about that mayo, iJay

Never heard of the mayo trick - but I'm with Shawarma and tcp.... the worst (read: best) was the gar slime - that stuff is potent (not to mention corrosive!).

I've tried lemon juice, but it doesn't work for me. I had a huge bottle and would soak my hands, but still fish! Haha
