I find this method works very well after a day of fishing where your hands get cut by braid, smelly with bait, and so on.

Take hydrogen peroxide and mix it with baking soda and some liquid (antibacterial) soap. The combination of H0 and soda will remove bait/fish smells since it bonds with the organic molecules that cause such smells, then washes them away. The baking soda softens the skin but still allows the skin to toughen against future cuts. The HO and anti-bacterial soap prevents infections and encourages healing.

A great combination...I keep all three with my fish gear at all times.

By the way, this also a great combination if the family dog every gets sprayed by a skunk.

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
