This thread inspired me to look into making my own beef jerk. Seeing the price per bag I hate paying the amount asked. A quick google search revealed I have been over paying for jerky for some time. It's super easy to make at home but you do need to set some time aside to make it.

Here is a vid showing you how to make it in your oven

 

Plenty of recipes online to fit your pallet. This first batch is a bit bland for me so I know I need to adjust my measurements or try bolder ingredients. Simple healthy snack (since you control the ingredients) so you can fight off hunger and keep fishing. Added bonus I don't need to have a cooler to keep it cool/cold, toss it in a zip lock back and go.

I took my normal PB&J on Friday and threw in 2 bananas and had a great day on a lake that I don't fish much. So the bananas thing has been debunked..lol.

I'm a big fan of nuts or granola bars. Something that's going to give me some energy with little effort.  Mostly water and poweraid other than that.  The occasional PB&J is a nice change.  Sometimes those protein shakes that come already in the bottle are a good thing I can chug quickly too.  Don't want to take too much time away from the fishing.

When it gets light early in the summer I'll get a coffee at a gas station and drink it on the way to whatever lake I pick.  When it gets lighter later I might stop by a donut shop and do coffee and donuts.  On the water I always bring a large Camelbak water bottle and Clif bars/protein bars.  Lately I've also been taking a pack of Belvita breakfast wafers (omg the chocolate or blueberry ones are tasty).

Hi all,

 

Just wondering, what snacks do you guys pack to hold you off on a fishing trip?

Night crawlers. 

Copenhagen, clif bars, water and more Copenhagen.

This is how I roll at lunch time on the water.

I have to pass my PB&J secret on.

Toast two blueberry eggo waffles and use them as the bread. The crispness helps keep it from getting mushy and the little squares lock in all the goodness. I love them for skiing because I can wrap them in foil and stuff them in a pocket and they're rigid enough to not get crushed.

For food Kind bars and rice crispie treats. Being gluten free I am happy to finally have a bar that tastes good. And for drinks start with 5 hour energy and then switch to soda, hate water. Used to drink some alcohol, but fishing has taken top billing lately.

I don't bring along beer anymore, I did in my younger days but dehydration + alcohol = not fun

 

I once went fishing while sick with the flu and a fever of 102 degrees, and brought along a 6-pack.  That's about all I remember of that day.  Ahh, I miss those care free days sometimes.

 

As far as snacks Jerky is good and usually what I carry with me now.

For me it's always the same.....Water, sunflower seeds, beef jerky and a fresh can of Grizzly straight

Great stuff.

I have a hunter friend who supplies me with venison jerky.  

Chicken Vienna sausage and saltine crackers. Peanut butter (Jiff) & grape jelly (Welch's) sandwich with plenty of water and diet ginger ale.  Also, plenty of Planter's peanuts.

 

The Old School Basser....

Chocolate chip cookies are the best.

Have you guys ever heard of "Hunter's Bacon"??

It's bacon but fully smoked- it looks raw but it's good to eat. I had some about two weeks ago and it blew my mind. If there was a place that sold it around here I would be in HUGE trouble.

For me it's the ever faithful protein bars and water. With some chew and gum mixed in. I did take some Rev's one time, and those were nice. But it eliminates a bottle of water from my cooler, which was a no no.

Liverwurst on white bread soaked in lake water.

This is a neat idea. I really like making my own foods because I really get to control what is in it. I really like beef jerky, and it is much better for you than many other snacks, but many brands are chocked full of preservatives. Make your own, no preservatives!

Laughing at some oddly specific answers.

I'm a shore fisherman, so most of my outings are only 5 hours or so. I'll be picking my buddy up in about three and a half hours, and we'll probably stop for a bacon egg and cheese on the way to the Rez. As for bringing stuff to the water, it's usually a couple big bottles of water, a Gatorade, and some sort of small snack or candy, preferably peanut m&ms or local jerkey. When I do get out in the water though I'll usually stop at nardellis (curious to see if anyone lives by one of these)

water, cope, maybe a hero.

Spam & Ramen (chicken flavor).

Fried chicken (16 piece), jerky, three pounds of bacon&sausages(the maple kind), pizza, blueberry muffins, brownies, homemade chocolate chip cookies, chips, soda(crème,root beer,&pepsi), Gatorade, thermos of coffee, and a couple sandwiches. I almost always fish for three days in a row and sleep on my boat so I need a lot of food. That and my friends always come by for the food! True story....g man LOL

Chewy granola bars.  The crunchy ones are terrible b/c they get all over you and your boat/kayak.

Beef Jerky.

Water/Gatorade

Hash brownies and space cakes     

 Classic! The penguin makes it that much better! Haha.

 

For me the "go to" is protein bars and small bags of peanuts. Jerky if i'm feeling spendy. Lunch is usually a sub. For drinks water is a must and an ice cold sports drink is a thirst quencher!

If we're renting a boat here for the day it's p&j sandwiches. Or salami and cheese because the salami could be bait too. We were trout fishing once. Two boats near each other one used corn while we used Velveeta cheese. We compared our fish ours were bigger. You have to be lightening fast with cheese you get one very fast bite. I personally don't use corn. Thirty years ago we chummed with cream corn that we ran through the blender again and fished with cheese. I don't think it's legal anymore.

Great camping breakfast,

Fry English muffins I a pat of butter till toasted. Fry sausage patties, scrambled eggs with cheese. Put the sandwich together. It tastes so good in the fresh air.
