On a deep sea fishing trip with boys outs and was wondering how I would get fish skins back home

When you come into the dock go into the cleaning room and talk with the fish cleaners.  You may load up.  On your fish you could ask them to fillet the fish out and give you the skins.  Some fish like sharks and red fish they leave the skin on.  Hope that helps.

Pack em in big ziplocks, squeeze the air out,  and bury them in ice.
When you check with the cleaners you may be able to get more skins from other fish they are cleaning.
Lot of the guys down on the coast here just flip the skins back into the water.
A cold beer or a few bucks could net you a bunch of skins.
