Bojangles biscuits and gatorade

Kebler peanut butter cheese crackers are hard to beat.  Ill take 2 or 3 packs.  Lots of frozen water bottles.  There is always one thawing on the deck.  On a long trip 3 PBJ sandwiches. 

Whatever my wife packs for me the night before... Usually a turkey and cheese or ham sandwich, a bag of chips, a cheese stick, and a little Debbie of some sort. Oh, and a love note wishing me luck.

Gawd I love that woman!

Fishing tends to make me neglect the important things to bring along like food, water, uv/bug spray, etc... Running outta the door at 3:00am to hit the pond stumbiling around in the dark viciously trying to get the boat out before the sun even rises for another 2 hours.. Yet i always remember every bit of gear and more than likley dont use half of it. Yea guess theres a problem..

 

I don't eat breakfast. I do my business when the motor is warming up (in the bathroom). On the water I bring natures valley granola bars and coffee. I have a mug that plugs into the lighter deal so it stays warm! I usually take a break around 11 am and my wife makes breakfast burritos.

We pack P&J sandwiches some slim Jim's, we get egg/bacon fresh sandwiches on the way to fishing.

The usual morning coffee and soda to drink. But lately I drink more coffee and water.

Being a diabetic I bring chocolate just incase or regular soda if my sugar goes too low. I like the p&j so I can hold them in my hand by the wrapper. The slim Jim's too.

 

I'm going to fish very hard this season.  Bill

 

Before the season begins a new can of bug spray goes in a plastic bag in my tackle box.

Sandwich, cliff bars, granolas bars, water. In the summer we can be out on the water 12hrs + . Got to be full and happy.

Couple times on my friends boat it has been combos and Gatorade. I usually don't bring anything to snack on but always have water and Gatorade with me

On the way to the ramp in the morning I always stop at Tim Hortons, then I have a cooler with Powerade or Gatorade, Power Bars, a bag of chips, and if im staying out for a long time I will make sandwiches.

always got a bag of beef jereky with me, and some kind of drink water, gaterade etc. and i always have a tin of grizzly! 

How do you guys stay out so long? I can go 4 hrs. max and I've got get rid of my morning coffee. I fish small lakes with houses all around. You can't just stand up and cut loose. Last summer there was a guy anchored about 150 ft. off shore. I was drifting along the shore and he never saw me. I was about 25 ft. from him between him and shore when he stood up and emptied himself in a coffee can. As he turned to empty it he saw me and was obviously embarrassed and pulled anchor and headed for the ramp.   Good thing he had his back to us as my wife was with me. We got a laugh out it. Now when I go out the wife asks if I have my Folgers can.   

Cold chicken, BBQ beef, or ham sandwiches, granola bars, jerky, lots of sunflower seeds, tons of water, usually some cookies or something that my mom makes. There's a lot of salt but I just drink lots of water and I'm fine.

Turkey sandwich, thermos of decaf coffee ,water jug and trail mix...  

I'm starving now that I've read all of this.

 

Jerky for sure, chips, store bought sandwiches, energy drinks, Gatorade and water.

Wow guys! You blew this thread up! Some interesting stuff here, thanks for the responses. I see most fisherman love to snack on beef jerky!

Water, power aid, an energy bar, and Copenhagen.

Can't believe Brian has not chimed in.......he carries a small convenience store with him.

 

HA! I just now saw this thread...... and it is true, I eat good on the water, and am always prepared for meeting an army of folks that may be hungry.

 

Ham and cheese sandwiches , pringles, saltine crackers, ritz crackers, peanut butter, chili cheese fritos, rice crispy treats, slim jims/cheese packs, beef jerky assorted nuts, peanuts, almonds ect , goldfish crackers, snickers, twix, paydays,....oh  yeah, Nutter butters! and those little grandmas crème cookie sandwiches(love those), and sometimes a variety of little debbies.... I try not to do a bunch of chocolates cause the melt and don't keep well in a boat.

 

and at least a 12 pack of Diet Cokes in the cooler and another in storage.

 

there you have it.......Needham's on the water buffet ... subject to change by season and how many times kids have been in my boat!!

Coors Light

For tourneys: Always doughnuts from Thorntons and a milk for breakfast. Sub sammiches, and apples and a ton of water for the day. 

Made the mistake of forgetting my water at home last year. That will be the last time I ever.. and I mean EVER go without something to drink.

 

Anyway, as far as food goes. We usually make some type of sandwiches as well. However, I've found out that a banana goes a long way out there. List goes something like

Sandwich (PB&J, anything else)
Jerky - all kinds of flavors
Banana
Crackers - we like the Lance Variety Packs
Sunflower Seeds
hungry? why wait? Grab a snickers!

I'm not one to preach anything however I always try and eat a balanced diet the reality is different though. When I know I'm going to be fishing the greasy food is off. A nature bar and water works for me. No one wants to drive home and feel like they are going to pass out lol.

It varies depending on how long I'm going to be out. If it's just for a few hours I just bring water and maybe a granola bar. If I'm going to be out all day I bring any combination of the following.

 

Sandwiches - PB&J and maybe a turkey sandwich or a hoagie.

Peanut butter crackers

Trail mix

Granola bars

Chips or cookies

Diet Coke

Water

Gatorade

I'm finding it interesting that not to many take an apple. A Honey Crisp munched between spots is great for both fluid and norishment and taste's pretty good to.

Also like water or gatoraid

PNB and J

Subway Sand

Granola or nuts

(yup I'm a muncher)..happens when ya loose fourty pounds the wrong way!!

P.S. Basically I don't fish anymore without something. Sometimes even during a tourney I'll find myself sitting back for five minitues reflecting on why thing's are %$!@ing. It sometimes helps.

I've been in a few houses on these lakes. They all seem to have binoculars or a telescope in the window.
