Finally, the solution to the problem of fish sliding around while you are trying to fillet! The Fillet Away Fish Mat will keep any fish in place when placed on any flat surface. You just need to apply slight pressure to the walleye, bass, salmon or any other species, and the pegs that dot the surface of the mat “grab” the fish. It really works. At a recent event where guides were filleting fish for their guests they all used the mat and wanted several to take to their camps in Alaska. I like the fact that the Fillet Away Fish Mats are so portable. You can fold it, roll it or slide it into your boat or fish bag. Another thing that is so great about it is that it cleans so easily. You just hold it over the side of the boat and swish it around and the fish scales and slime falls away. If you have ever tried using a piece of Astro Turf or carpet you know that only lasts a short time before it starts to stink. The Fillet Away Fish Mat is even dishwasher safe if you want it to be like brand new. In order for your mat to last for years, follow the instructions that come with it and note that it is made of a special soft rubber material and will cut. Do not use it as a cutting board. The mats are 19 inches long and 14 inches wide--the ideal size to hold most fish. For larger fish just lay two mats edge to edge. Once your friends see you use the Fillet Away Fish Mat they will want won, too! You can now find these mats at many outdoor retailers, but if your local store doesn’t have them just go to www.filletaway.com and they will ship one to you.
