Have seen people take a large cutting board or other piece of HDPE and cut it up and then screw/seal it together to make a bait cutting station with 3 high sides and a front with a small lip. Keep the bait on the it and keeps liquids from running off. From there mount it a rod rack or the gunnel somehow.

Have saw cutting boards that attach to a rod holder base to keep the nasty part out over the water. I believe "Overtons" shows some in their catalog.

Also seen ones like this that sit on top of a bucket.

Nothing fancy here. We occasionally fish for channel cats and have a piece of scrap laminate flooring for cutting board. Mainly for cut bait, though.

PS: I plan to upgrade to a scrap piece of vinyl plank, soon.

Cheap plastic or hdpe cutting boards from a dollar store work great for bait cutting and for fish cleaning and are cheap !

I hope it is "luxury" vinyl plank!
