For those of you that fish mornings what does your pre fishing breakfast consist of? For me its either bacon, hash browns and eggs, breakfast tacos or a breakfast sandwich almost always bacon or ham, egg and cheese on a burger bun or bagel. To make my wife happy ill usually throw in a piece of fruit typically a banana or avocado. Normally just a big glass of water but sometimes a black coffee.

A Clif Bar, getting up a 5am is hard enough 😁

I'm a one meal a day guy with a very specific carnivore diet. I bring a piece of pemmican and I'm good. 

I don’t take food in the boat so I eat a big breakfast.  Mine consists of a sandwich with a fried egg, fried summer sausage slices, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a slice of tomato on a lightly toasted wheat hamburger bun along with several tater tots and some black coffee.  I’m good until mid to late afternoon.

Usually a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on the way to the lake, always some black coffee and water, and usually a granola bar or something mid morning. 

I’d have to get up at 4am if I was going to prepare a hot breakfast before I went fishing. That just ain’t gonna happen.

 

I usually grab a granola bar, a hard boiled egg, and a banana before I go.

 

I drink black coffee every morning, 365 days/year in my yeti cup.

Biscuit and gravy. Ya know Southern thing 

Breakfast is a Jimmy Dean Bowl. I take a sandwich and a 15oz Bolthouse for lunch. I don't snack on chips or such - a ziploc with a cup of blueberries is my hand snack.

@bowhunter63 

it’s this Yankee’s favorite breakfast! 

Getting up early enough to be on the water at dawn is a challenge for me so breakfast is usually microwaved left overs.  Occasionally, when there aren’t any, I resort to a gas station breakfast sandwich.  100% of the time there is a Yeti full of coffee to wash it down. 

Breakfast of champions!

 

Honey bun & a carton of milk

This morning it was a couple of pieces of wheat toast with butter, a hard boiled egg and an orange. If the fam is going with me I make bacon and breakfast sandwiches on bagels.

I'm up and out pretty early most of the time.

When I want to be 'on the spot' right at first light,

and I have 60 miles of road and 10 miles of lake between me & the fish,

my breakfast needs to be easy & fast to keep me on schedule. 

A protein shake & a half of banana is the go to.

Always bring plenty to eat, so dining on the water occurs regularly as well.

An indicator of a good day on the water,

sees me eating my whole bag of whatever in the truck on the ride home.

Happened past couple of trips.

I'm a fan.

I perform the best on a classic breakfast for athletes... old fashioned oatmeal and eggs. If I need something faster, usually a bagel and banana or similar works for me. 

If im going for trout, bluegill, or crappie to bring home i dont eat breakfast and starve.

Great motivator for catching my food.

 

But as probably the only person on earth that dislikes almost all breakfast foods, either a protein shake or rice and chicken if im going for bass.

We can fix this. Show up to my place 9am sharp tomorrow. Slow cooked grits or buttermilk biscuits. I will make you a believer

Haha.  Always a good sign when there just isn't time to consume the food taken until the ride home.

Bojangles. A Cajun filet biscuit is good hot or cold, so stick one on the yak 😎

Also bring Cliff bar and snacks on boat. I always run out of snacks. I was just chatting with a guy at church this morning about how fishing makes me hungry. 

I think pedaling kayak burns more calories than I take credit for.

Bojangles outside of NC simply isn’t Bojangles. I had it in Georgia once and it was disgusting. 
 

But Bojangles inside NC…. WHOOWEE 

Sometimes a hard boiled egg cooked the night before, with one-piece of toast and sugarless jelly with coffee. This is usually around 4am. I woof it down quick. For early morning trips, I'm moving quickly.

It's pretty good in southern VA as well. Lynchburg and South I'd say. But Bojangles and good BBQ have very similar geographic limitations 😎

@FishTax if I have the opportunity to come back to NC for the winter holidays, we should try again for Thom-A-Lex or Badin. Bojangles before or after. 

While I'm getting ready and loading the car, I will snack on a couple of Pop Tarts  Before I leave I will have some fruit, and one or two cups of coffee.  On the water I'll have some granola bars and some water.

In the colder months I substitute a bowl of oatmeal for the Pop Tarts.

Sausage(patty), Egg, & Cheese on toast with light mayo, a 16oz whey protein shake, and 30 oz coffee. 

If it's a early trip it's usually an apple and a glass of unsweet tea.   It's funny breakfast was mentioned today.   Yesterday around 8AM I was hungry.  I saw some kids camping on the bank.  They had a fire going.  As I went by I yelled "do y'all have some bacon and eggs for an old man?"   One of them yelled back  "all we've got is beer, do you want one?"      Camping with plenty of beer, and no food could have been me several decades ago.
