Flathead season

I'm just excited that it's almost time to start fishing for the catfish again! I need somewhere to clean my reels though, and I am wondering if you guys have any recommendations? Also, I want to share that in mid July I'm going on a 6 day fishing trip on the folly river in South Carolina. I will be fishing for small sharks, in the 6 foot and under range, redfish, drum, and anything else that we happen to catch! I could also fish the pier, but the river may be more fun. I will definitely post pictures! Really though, any info on the reel cleaning would be appreciated. Looking to have penn squall level winds and abu 6500's cleaned. Thanks everyone!

Youtube it man. Clean em yourself and you'll learn more than you could imagine.

I am scared to clean them myself because I could mess them up so bad. Should they be cleaned right before I go to the beach so they are in top shape to fight the strong saltwater fish? Or if they're cleaned now will they be good through the whole summer?

I would clean and lube now. then again and do a complete rinse out when done in the saltwater

Ok, sounds good to me. It will probably be next week's project.
