Anyone ever have a smell in their hull - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

An easy start to the problem is take it outside, open the hatches and drain plug(s) and hose it down. Washing out any nooks and areas were debris, guts, etc could get trapped. I've also used a soapy solution and brush as needed. But the hose with jet nozzle works well. Rinse well and let drain and dry. Then I have also used simple green as needed.

Preventive measure. I usually do a fresh water flush, after use and typically don't have issues, unless a little bit of guts are squid got trapped in the hull.
