I'm looking at jerseymudsnipers avatar and I've become obsessed with the full skeleton mounts on IG.... I'm thinking about getting a beetle colony going and having a go at stripping a few fish to mess with this winter. Anyone do this before?

Fish no but i've had beatles being a taxidermist. They are ok outside. My problem is i never needed them enough to keep warm in winter. They smell and i didnt want them in shop or near house.

Re: Daily Vis report thread
Yeah, I have area outdoors where I would keep them just for the summer. Try and get the bones clean then store bones until middle of winter to mess with.

Re: Daily Vis report thread
Just boil it 5-10 mins everything falls of the bones, brush it with old tooth brush and then dry it

Re: Daily Vis report thread
That some pretty nice work. I did something similar with a deer skull in November for a Euro mount and did the same thing, was just longer and needed more time put into cleaning it.

Re: Daily Vis report thread
The boiling yellows the fish bones so you don't get that stark white and I was going to try to do whole skeleton with the all the little bones. The more I look into the beetles though it's looking less fun. I remember them as a little kid getting into stretched fur so I figured bam this is super simple. The more I read about getting a good colony going and having to dry the fish first it's looking more like a setup a spot for next yr thing. I have to work out drying the fish somewhere in the sun away from getting hammered by the birds or carried off by critters too.

Manasquan
Manasquan Inlet North was 6-8' today at high tide, no sun. I passed on a nice eel. The rod and reelers further out on the jetty were pulling in abies but I didn't see any in the inlet. Good dive under a dark grey sky. I think I may have spied a sheepshead in the shadows, so many fat taug it's hard to tell sometimes.

Re: Daily Vis report thread
You could try it with a fish, bit I've had luck burying a hog skull to strip the meat off the bone. It would have to be summer and you would want to do it far from the house.
