Scaling bream to fry whole
Posted on 4/20/17 at 2:44 pm

a old friend of my dad once told me you can knock the scales all in a minute with a pressure washer
Question is has anyone actually tried doing this?
Caught a mess today and I'm about to break out the old spoon to scale em (which doesn't really bother me) and was just curious.

We used to use an old 3' section of the tail of a trawl, with a draw string, and drag them behind the boat on the way back to the launch. They would come out completely scaled, and then you put them back on ice until ready to clean.

Seems like too much trouble. Takes like 20-30 seconds to scale one with a spoon

You must only catch a few, baw - we were dealing with lots of 'em

What about one of those barrel things where you just turn the handle?

Damn that's pretty smart
I was just in my little bateau with a trolling motor so doubt that would've worked today

It takes you less time to string the fish on a trawl than to just scrape them with a spoon?

Yeah, Id have to be scaling hundreds of bream on a regular basis for me to buy one of those.

Nail them all to a scrap piece of plywood and go to town with a pressure washer.

Definitely going to try something like this for shits next time and see how it works
I only kept like 15 today for dinner so it wasn't worth it

yep...though i wear an old pair (actually one) of golf spikes and step on the tail at the car wash on the way home.
love using a car wash/pressure washer...literally takes the spots off a trout, get finished and it looks like a sand trout. and it is the ONLY way to clean a flounder. zip-zip and you're done.

That sounds like more of a pain in the arse nailing to a board and draggin the PW out. I'll stick with a spoon.
