MichiganFishing1997 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Snacks, no matter how much I love to fish, a trip is ruined for me when i get too hungry. Snacks are always in my bag, whether it be power bars, a bag of chip, something. Water is right there with it. To me my hat, knife, and things like that are give ins. A hungry Christian is not a happy or successful fisherman. Quote
BadContrakt Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Well if you don't have a scale & you catch a new pb it is not a true pb Then we have to live through another post of how much do you think this weighs? There's always a scale in my boat. I would consider that part of the tackle. Snacks, no matter how much I love to fish, a trip is ruined for me when i get too hungry. Snacks are always in my bag, whether it be power bars, a bag of chip, something. Water is right there with it. To me my hat, knife, and things like that are give ins. A hungry Christian is not a happy or successful fisherman. HERE IT IS. This is the one thing that I could not go out for more than a couple hours without. After the 2 hour mark or maybe even sooner I'm scrounging into my "Pic-a-nic-a-bass-kit" for a nutty bar, pop tart, bottle of water, or fruit snacks. There's my answer... Snacks! P.S. My "picnic basket" is a tupperware container about 16 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 4 inches deep, completely waterproof and has buoys on the side so if it falls in I can retrieve my snacks, keys, and cell phone safely. In-genius fisherman's tool that none of us should be without. It was only like 10 bucks. Quote

So a guy, who is fishing alone, catches a PB and realizes that he forgot his scale - When he screams - does it make a sound ? A-Jay 4 Quote

Super User MarkH024 Posted July 27, 2013 Super User Posted July 27, 2013 It's been a tradition of mine and my sons for quite some time. Before every trip to the Chain we stop off at Thornton's in Volo and he buys chocolate longjons for breakfast.Tradition is good. What's the place called in Volo. Haven't been there in years. I love Boston Creme doughnuts Quote

Super User whitwolf Posted July 27, 2013 Super User Posted July 27, 2013 Copenhagen. Alas I'm on here this morning and It's raining like crazy, thunder and lightning, and the outlook is poor for the rest of the day. I thought of another as I was typing. NEVER forget rain gear when you go for a quick trip in between storms. 1 Quote

scrutch Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Another vote for sunglasses. Bright sun for too long equals a guaranteed headache for me. I think ibuprofen is a must for me. I don't need it very often but when I do, and I don't have it, that headache shuts me down. Game over. Quote
wakeeater Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 a couple of good cigars, some good whiskey for the campfire/cabin/hotel, beef jerky, bug spray, rain gear, & good company. 1 Quote

Super User rockchalk06 Posted July 30, 2013 Super User Posted July 30, 2013 My glock! I'd shower with it if I wouldn't look like a fool. Its like forgetting your underware, feels weird without it. 1 Quote
