Do you bring food with you on fishing trips? If so, what do you bring? 

 

I usually only bring peanut butter crackers and water but am curious to see what others do. 

If I'm doing a full day, I'll bring water, ice coffee, bolthouse, a sandwich and a couple snacks (Ho-Ho's, Twinkies, etc). I'll anchor the boat for lunch and have my sandwich, rest I'll eat/drink on the move.

If I'm on a boat I usually bring a Complete Cookie, maybe a small thing of jerky, a small gatorade, and a huge water. I don't usually stop long enough to finish it all but fueling the brain and body matters 

Coffee and crackers and p&j sandwich and a few myth buster bananas  

This time of year I'm a big fan of melon and citrus because it rehydrates you well replacing electrolytes and replenishing calories.

 

I bring lots of water in a cooler.

 

I occasionally bring a sandwich and some chips if I'm going to be out for more than five or six hours.

 

Sometimes I will bring coffee or an energy drink or something like that.

I do not take food in the boat.  Since my wife is diabetic we have those diabetic protein drinks around so I keep one in the boat and one in the truck incase I need something.

I bring granola bars and water.  Usually 4 to 6 bars and a gallon of water.

I take a monster for my morning coffee. I take a chewy granola bar or some pretzels or jerky. I take water and a power aide too. I am not a big eater through out the day. 
 

my dog has all the treats and water he could ever want though.

Boudin & Gatorade ?

beef jerky,poweraid,gatorade, water.

If I’m out there in the morning, black coffee. If I’m out there in the evening, a beer.

 

I always bring water or Gatorade too. No food for this guy most of the time. Rarely am I out there for more than a few hours though.

Boat fishing I bring water, snacks, apple and a good sandwich’s for me and my partner.

1/2 day buy a sandwich’s  on the way home.

I do not miss meals and try to always stay hydrated. 

so I always have Bottled water, protein and cliff bars, some type of flat bread sandwiches  usually chicken, and if I'm extra good, a bag of lucky cookies.

It's all on the pre launch checklist.

Between my fishing partner and I, we normally stop for a quick lunch break.  I normally bring a “Lunchable” which is a prepackaged lunch with meat, cheese, crackers and 2 small cookies.  I also pack plain water and a bag of chips for the salt. My partner packs a pb&j crustable and a bag of chips.  He packs Propel because he said the Marine Corps made him drink so much water, it would not bother him to never drink it again.  Only conflict we have is that I like my water chilled and he likes his propel room temp.  We are always whining at each other about his propels warming my water and my water chilling his propels.?. He saves a nutty buddy or cookies for the ride home.  

So do you big eaters have any idea of the number of casts you miss while eating?

We normally stop at slack tide when the fishing slows waaaaay down and we spend about 10 minutes in the seats.  Fishing is meant to be enjoyable not an endurance contest for us. ?

A couple sparkling waters and some mixed nuts and dried fruit. Amounts are commensurate with how long I’ll be out. Sometimes I’ll have a shot of espresso in there too for a mid morning pick up. 

Since I generally make the sandwiches, we eat when I'm ready. 

2 bottled waters, a soda, a Red Bull for the ride home just in case I might have gotten up too early, corn nuts, jerky, and a bag of some sort of chips is my standard kit for any trip.  I try to eat before I leave the house or I will get a hot sandwich where ever I gas up.  
 

I drink when I am thirsty but I generally only eat when am regrouping mentally.  Most of the time, I am only on the water 4-5 hours.  

I’m all over the place with what I bring. The fanciest I’ve packed is Korean kimbap that I made the day prior. Brought that and a soda. Absolutely stellar

Tuna sandwich, crackers bottled water. Cold weather- hot soup and crackers, thermos of coffee, bottled water.

Lunch is the only time of day I can force myself to slowly fish a soft plastic bait.  I make a cast, take a few bites of my sandwich, then slowly work the bait back, make another cast, and eat an apple, then slowly work the bait back.  If I get a bite, lunch is over.  After half my lunch is gone, I'm back to fishing way to fast, and eating even faster.  I fish minimum of 12 hours so I bring a big lunch, most of it is eaten while peddling to new locations.

None!

 

I eat while running from one spot to another. One hand on the steering wheel, boudin in the other, Gatorade between my legs.

I will often do the same in the pedal kayak. Or I will eat while waiting for people to go away so I can slither in all quiet Greg Hackney style to my fishing spot ??

No. 

But I have an idea that for me

quality trumps quanity

almost every time.
