Cody, Arm and Hammer Baking soda. Get a big box and sprinkle the whole thing in there, then close it up. I learned this after Katrina when dealing with the nastiness in the fridges and freezers. Only last week, someone left some formerly live scrimps in an ice chest at my camp. I didn't have a lot of room in the boat and I had emptied the chest earlier that day, so I just stowed it in the camp. It's been darn hot lately. The smell hit me when I opened the door. I busted out the baking soda. This was Monday. I was out there until today. I opened the box before I left and there was only the faintest odor. It'll be gone by Saturday when I get back.
Someone mentioned charcoal. It will do great, but get lump charcoal, not the briquettes. For heaven's sake, not the kind with lighter fluid in it. Put it in a towel and bash it up with a hammer. This exposes more surface area and allows the charcoal to do its work. |

I dump fish guts/heads in the water all the time. Never heard about any laws against it. All the old coonasses I know do it too.
Just don't do it next to someone's house or camp. I have frozen leftovers till trash day, but never fish guts. I try to clean them somewhere else when possible. |

wipe the interior down with vanilla extract. Works like a charm

I always put fish leavings in the freezer for use as crab bait. I just recently found out that using game fish carcasses as crab bait was illegal in Texas. Talk about a stupid law. Now I have to throw it all away.

thanks for the ideas, guys. I did bleach for 2 nights and Mr.Clean for one night and the smell is gone as best as I can tell. I haven't closed the lid for a night yet though. I still cant get the indention of the fish out. I think it is now part of my boat.

You now have a ghost trout in your boat.

At least now you'll never scratch and go home empty handed.

If it is illegal to put fish guts in the water then anyone who has cleaned fish at cal point is a outlaw

Here's what I did with the refrigerators and the freezer after Rita. After the whole bleach routine, I spread a whole bag of charcoal briquets all over in the frig and let is sit for a couple of weeks. We stayed in Arkansas with family. It still had a lingering odor but it was much, much better. The plastic in an ice chest holds odors more than the metal in a frig. Briquets are easy enough to try. Activated carbon would probably be better.
