You know how Blanchard eats In&Out when he doesn’t fish well?   Well, I don’t love burgers.  Me?  “Botanas de Marisco”.  Bounty of the sea seafood cocktail.  I forgot to tell them to put the chili flakes on the side.  It’s a shot glass of red pepper flakes on top.  I already stirred it in for the pic.  Oh boy.  Tomorrow is gonna burn.  Haha.   When the CA Delta beats me into submission I crave it.  I treat myself to a decent meal. 

it is yummy tho.  Probably should put a roll of toilet paper in my freezer. 
 

I did not get skunked, but hitting the road at 3:30 am was not worth it.    

do you have a after-tough fishing meal?

 

 

 

 

For me, I'd take a double cheese burger from in and out any day. Yummmm

Slice of lemon pie takes care of hot chili pepper.

I'm getting over strep throat.  Today if the first day in a few that it doesn't hurt to eat.   I had Pizza from a real Italian restaurant for lunch and a juicy rib eye from my grill for Supper.  (Dinner for non southerners  LOL)

After I get skunked , it’s chil cheese tots from Sonic . And maybe a strawberry shake. 

Usually a beer and a little whiskey for me.  

Good thing I don’t. I’ve been getting skunked so often lately I’d be huge. 

Yup ~ 

I don't do it often but when I do . . . . .

It's an Extra Large Stuffed crust Pie with x-tra cheese, Portabella Mushrooms & Italian Sausage.

Perfect!

Bowl of chicken soup makes me feel good.

 

Don’t catch, don’t eat!

 

ok maybe a few spoonfuls of peanut butter 

I don't get skunked often thankfully but it does happen. To right the ship after I usually just consume 3 glasses of whiskey...after the 2nd one I don't remember getting skunked...after the 3rd one I dont remember going fishing.

Hotdogs with hot Chow Chow & chips or a Sloppy Joe stack. Homemade oatmeal cookies occasionally. 

Easy. Fish. 
 

I go to the market, select a fish, and tell the merchant to wrap it and toss it to me. Guess what? I caught a fish! For dinner! ?

 

Man, I love me a good meal. But I don’t think I have something so specific as a “I Got Skunked” dish that I crave. It can run the gamut from a simple ham and Swiss on rye to a NY strip Pittsburgh medium-rare. Which I had for lunch and dinner yesterday. 
 

But I didn’t get skunked, so…?

Come on, ice cream!

Love that movie

Hot dogs with sauerkraut, meat sauce and raw onion.

 

A guy had a hot dog cart at the boat launch of one of my favorite lakes for a few years and I would always get a few after fishing. Now every time I’m on my boat, whether the fish are biting good or not I will start to crave hot dogs and some spicy kraut.

this movie??

Tell you what I do NOT do and that is punish myself like Greg Blanchard does by sitting in a In n Out drive-thru for 30-45 minutes waiting for a tiny burger and soggy fries. He said he spent 45 minutes in line before and I believe that.

 

The In n Out near me constantly has 25-30 cars in line snaking around the parking lot. Half hour easy. I could cook a burger and come back and still see the same people in line!

 

"Here's your sign!"

 

Edit to add: I skunk all the time in my local waters. I just go home.

I do it the other-way around, the food is a reward for doing well that day.  
 

I wouldn’t say I necessarily plan my fishing trips around food, but every fishing spot has a corresponding food spot that I can hit on the way home.

Those are the bomb.  Does sonic have good chili?  Not really.  But it all comes together nicely in the chili-cheese tots.

When I was fly fishing more than boat fishing, I would wade the Shenandoah and it was a tradition on the way home through the Blue Ridge mountains, I would stop at a roadside custard stand.  After a hot day guide trip in my boat, I would stop at the corner store by the lake for a Code Red Mountain Dew and a bag of cheese curls.?

I get jalapeños and onion on top just for a little added kick. Mmm. I can’t wait to get skunked again. Galb
